abstract

We employ scattering amplitudes in curved space to model the dynamics of a light probe particle with mass $m$ orbiting in the background spacetime induced by a heavy gravitational source with mass $M$. Observables are organized as an expansion in $m/M$ to all orders in $G$ -- the gravitational self-force expansion. An essential component of our analysis is the backreaction of the heavy source which we capture by including the associated light degrees of freedom. As illustration we consider a Schwarzschild background and verify geodesic motion as well as the first-order self-force correction to two-body scattering through ${\cal O}(G^3)$. Amplitudes in curved space offer several advantages, and further developments along these lines may advance the computation of gravitational-wave signals for extreme-mass-ratio inspirals.

  1. Dynamical Love Numbers for Black Holes and Beyond from Shell Effective Field Theory

    hep-th 2025-12 accept novelty 8.0 of 10

    A shell-based EFT computes scalar Love numbers for Schwarzschild black holes through O(G^9) and conjectures an all-orders Riemann-zeta structure.

  2. Radiation-Reaction and Angular Momentum Loss at $\mathcal{O}(G^4)$

    hep-th 2025-01 accept novelty 8.0 of 10

    A closed-form, all-velocity expression for the O(G^4) radiated angular momentum in two-body gravitational scattering is derived, resumming all half-odd post-Newtonian corrections.

  3. Supertranslations are Soft Dressings

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Coherent-state dressings by zero-energy gravitons are equivalent to BMS supertranslations, and the associated conserved charge produces a universal, all-orders shift of the scattering impact parameter.

  4. Generalized Unitarity Method for Worldline Field Theory

    hep-th 2025-10 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Worldline gravitational observables can be bootstrapped from locality, unitarity, gauge invariance, and a soft theorem once worldline energies are complexified, reproducing the known O(G^5/2) waveform and O(G^3) on-sh...

  6. Higher-Dimensional Black Holes and Effective Field Theory

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Higher-dimensional spinning black holes generally have nonzero scalar tidal Love numbers, with patterns of zeroes in special limits, computed via point-particle EFT matching.
