This is the first of two papers on computing the self-force in a radiation gauge for a particle moving in circular, equatorial orbit about a Kerr black hole. In the EMRI (extreme-mass-ratio inspiral) framework, with mode-sum…

We formulate a new analytical method for regularizing the self-force acting on a particle of small mass $\mu$ orbiting a black hole of mass $M$, where $\mu\ll M$. At first order in $\mu$, the geometry is perturbed and the motion of the…

The linear perturbation of the Kerr black hole has been discussed by using the Newman--Penrose and the perturbed Weyl scalars, $\psi_0$ and $\psi_4$ can be obtained from the Teukolsky equation. In order to obtain the other Weyl scalars and…

The gravitational self-force has thus far been formulated in background spacetimes for which the metric is a solution to the Einstein field equations in vacuum. While this formulation is sufficient to describe the motion of a small object…

The self-force describes the effect of a particle's own gravitational field on its motion. While the motion is geodesic in the test-mass limit, it is accelerated to first order in the particle's mass. In this contribution I review the…
