Abstract
The Kerr metric outside the ergosphere is transformed into ADM coordinates up to the orders and , respectively in radial coordinate and reduced angular momentum variable , starting from the Kerr solution in quasi-isotropic as well as harmonic coordinates. The distributional source terms for the approximate solution are calculated. To leading order in linear momenta, higher-order-in-spin interaction Hamiltonians for black-hole binaries are derived.
