Abstract
The fulfillment of the space-asymptotic Poincar\'e algebra is used to derive new higher-order-in-spin interaction Hamiltonians for binary black holes in the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner canonical formalism almost completing the set of the formally spin-interaction Hamiltonians involving nonlinear spin terms. To linear order in , the expressions for the - and the -Hamiltonians are completed. It is also shown that there are no quartic nonlinear -Hamiltonians to linear order in .
