We complete the analytical determination, at the 4th post-Newtonian approximation, of the main radial potential describing the gravitational interaction of two bodies within the effective one-body formalism. The (non logarithmic) coefficient a_5 (nu) measuring this 4th post-Newtonian interaction potential is found to be linear in the symmetric mass ratio nu. Its nu-independent part a_5 (0) is obtained by an analytical gravitational self-force calculation that unambiguously resolves the formal infrared divergencies which currently impede its direct post-Newtonian calculation. Its nu-linear part a_5 (nu) - a_5 (0) is deduced from recent results of Jaranowski and Sch\"afer, and is found to be significantly negative.

  1. Gravitational radiation reaction for compact binary systems at the fourth-and-a-half post-Newtonian order in harmonic coordinates

    gr-qc 2026-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The 4.5PN radiation-reaction acceleration of nonspinning compact binaries is derived in harmonic coordinates, including a dimensional-regularization pole, and is shown to satisfy flux-balance laws and Lorentz invariance.

  2. Post-adiabatic dynamics and waveform generation in self-force theory: an invariant pseudo-Hamiltonian framework

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A pseudo-Hamiltonian reformulation of 1PA self-force dynamics yields local, invariant action-angle evolution equations and an embedded conservative Hamiltonian whose on-shell energy equals the first-law binding energy.
