We study binding corrections to the gyromagnetic factor g_e of an electron in hydrogen-like ions. We argue that the leading order binding effects in radiative corrections Delta g_rad are universal to all orders in alpha/pi and the complete…
One way to select a preferred frame from gravitational radiation is via the principal axes of < L L>, an average of the action of rotation group generators on the Weyl tensor at asymptotic infinity. In this paper we evaluate this…
When a relativistic star rotates slowly and rigidly, centrifugal forces flatten it slightly, thereby catalyzing a small admixture of quadrupolar vibration into its radial modes and a damping of the resulting quasi-radial modes. The damping…
