Gravitational self-force on a particle orbiting a Kerr black hole.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a practical method for calculating the gravitational self-force, as well as the electromagnetic and scalar self-forces, for a particle in a generic orbit around a Kerr black hole. In particular, we provide the values of all the regularization parameters needed for implementing the (previously introduced) mode-sum regularization method. We also address the gauge-regularization problem, as well as a few other issues involved in the calculation of gravitational radiation reaction in Kerr spacetime.

Gravitational self force in extreme mass-ratio inspirals
This review is concerned with the gravitational self-force acting on a mass particle in orbit around a large black hole. Renewed interest in this old problem is driven by the prospects of detecting gravitational waves from strongly gravitating binaries with extreme mass ratios. We begin here with a summary of recent advances in the theory of gravitational self-interaction in curved spacetime, a...
متن کاملCovariant Self-Force Regularization of a Particle Orbiting a Schwarzschild Black Hole Mode Decomposition Regularization
The covariant structure of the self-force of a particle in a general curved background has been elucidated in the cases of scalar, electromagnetic, and gravitational charges. Specifically, what we need is the part of the self-field that is non-vanishing off and within the past light cone of the particle’s location, the so-called tail. The radiation reaction force in the absence of external fiel...

In this chapter, we present analytic calculations of gravitational waves from a particle orbiting a black hole. We first review the Teukolsky formalism for dealing with the gravitational perturbation of a black hole. Then we develop a systematic method to calculate higher order post-Newtonian corrections to the gravitational waves emitted by an orbiting particle. As applications of this method,...
متن کاملGravitational self-force on eccentric equatorial orbits around a Kerr black hole
This paper presents the first calculation of the gravitational self-force on a small compact object on an eccentric equatorial orbit around a Kerr black hole to first order in the mass-ratio. That is the pointwise correction to the object’s equations of motion (both conservative and dissipative) due to its own gravitational field, which is treated as a linear perturbation to the background Kerr...
متن کاملGravitational radiation reaction
We give a short personally-biased review on the recent progress in our understanding of gravitational radiation reaction acting on a point particle orbiting a black hole. The main motivation of this study is to obtain sufficiently precise gravitational waveforms from inspiraling binary compact stars with a large mass ratio. For this purpose, various new concepts and techniques have been develop...
