We consider the scattering of a low-frequency gravitational wave by a massive compact body in vacuum. We apply partial-wave methods to compute amplitudes for the helicity-conserving and helicity-reversing contributions to the cross section, accurate to first order in $M\omega$. Contrary to previous claims, we find that the partial-wave cross section agrees with the cross section derived via perturbation-theory methods.

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    O(G^4) gravitational wave scattering amplitude computed in worldline QFT with Murua decomposition, matched to black hole perturbation theory to validate the formalism for Schwarzschild black holes.

    hep-th 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Gravitational Compton amplitude computed to third post-Minkowskian order via worldline EFT with infrared and forward divergences regulated to connect to black hole perturbation theory.

  3. Black Hole Response Theory and its Exact Shockwave Limit

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Black hole response theory in WQFT exactly reproduces the Aichelburg-Sexl shockwave metric, geodesics, and the transfer matrix for gravitational-wave scattering off it via post-Minkowskian resummation.

  4. Polarization-dependent observational signatures of Weyl-coupled photons around a black hole

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.5

    Weyl-coupled photons on Schwarzschild produce a polarization-split double shadow (62% edge separation at α/M²=0.75) and a parity-protected backward birefringence signal that vanishes at α=0.

  5. On-axis scattering of scalar fields by charged rotating black holes

    gr-qc 2019-07 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Numerical on-axis scalar scattering cross sections by Kerr-Newman black holes match classical and semiclassical results.
