We consider the motion of a point particle in a stationary spacetime under the influence of a scalar, electromagnetic or gravitational self-force. We show that the conservative piece of the first-order self-force gives rise to Hamiltonian dynamics, and we derive an explicit expression for the Hamiltonian on phase space. Specialized to the Kerr spacetime, our result generalizes the Hamiltonian function previously obtained by Fujita et. al., which is valid only for non-resonant orbits. We discuss implications for the first law of binary black hole mechanics.

    Quadratic-in-spin MPTD dynamics in type-D Einstein spacetimes with Killing–Yano symmetry admits five commuting first integrals—hence Liouville–Arnold integrability—only when the spin-induced quadrupole deformability p...

    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.
