We examine the corrections to the lowest order gravitational interactions of massive particles arising from gravitational radiative corrections. We show how the masslessness of the graviton and the gravitational self interactions imply the presence of nonanalytic pieces sqrt{-q^2}, ln-q^2, etc. in the form factors of the energy-momentum tensor and that these correspond to long range modifications of the metric tensor g_{\mu\nu} of the form G^2m^2/r^2, G^2m\hbar/r^3, etc. The former coincide with well known solutions from classical general relativity, while the latter represent new quantum mechanical effects, whose strength and form is necessitated by the low energy quantum nature of the general relativity. We use these results to define a running gravitational charge.

    In five dimensions, minimally coupled massive vector and antisymmetric tensor fields produce only mass or stress quadrupoles respectively from scattering amplitudes, failing to match the Myers-Perry black hole and dem...

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    A double perturbative expansion of the Kerr metric is obtained by recursively solving the Einstein equations in harmonic gauge to arbitrary order in G and a, with re-summation requiring redundant harmonic coordinate terms.
