We {\it analytically} compute, to the eight-and-a-half post-Newtonian order, and to linear order in the mass ratio, the radial potential describing (within the effective one-body formalism) the gravitational interaction of two bodies,…
We give an improved formalism for calculating the evolution of density fluctuations and temperature perturbations in flat universes. Our equations are general enough to treat the perturbations in collisionless relics like massive neutrinos.…
We present an elementary derivation of the planetary advance of the perihelion for a general spherically symmetric line element in the post- newtonian approximation.
We present a new set of 3.5 Post-Newtonian equations in which Newtonian hydrodynamics is coupled to the nonconservative effects of gravitational radiation emission. Our formalism differs in two significant ways from a similar 3.5…

Within scalar-tensor (ST) theories, neutron stars in binary systems experience tidal deformations caused by both their companion and the scalar field. These deformations are strongly correlated to the star's internal structure and…
Like the two-photon and two-gluon decays of the $P$-wave $\chi_{c0,2}$ and $\chi_{b0,2}$ charmonium state for which the Born term produces a very simple decgays amplitude in terms of an effective Lagrangian with two-quark local operator,…
In this work, a method for solving the constraints of general relativity is presented, where first all geometrical objects are written in terms of a set of orthonormal triads and a flat Weitzenbock connection, which depends on the triads…
Soft or collinear photon emission potentially poses numerical problems in the phase-space integration of radiative processes. In this paper, a general subtraction formalism is presented that removes such singularities from the integrand of…
We examine the radiative $\Delta \to \gamma N$ transition at the real photon point $Q^2=0$ using the framework of light-cone QCD sum rules. In particular, the sum rules for the transition form factors $G_M(0)$ and $R_{EM}$ are determined up…
I present an update on the electroweak radiative correction factor to semileptonic tau decays, including a next-to-leading order resummation of large logarithms. My result differs both qualitatively and quantitatively from the one recently…
We derive formulae that resum, at a given order in the soft limit, the infinite series of Post-Minkowskian (small gravitational coupling) or Post-Newtonian (small velocities) corrections to the gravitational waveform produced by particles…
Using equations of motion accurate to the third post-Newtonian (3PN) order (O(v/c)^6 beyond Newtonian gravity), we derive expressions for the total energy E and angular momentum J of the orbits of compact binary systems (black holes or…
In order for a modified gravity model to be a candidate for cosmological dark energy it has to pass stringent local gravity experiments. We find that a Brans-Dicke (BD) theory with well-defined second order corrections that include the…

We use surface adapted ellipsoidal coordinates to obtain a first order post-Newtonian (PN) approximation to Dedekind ellipsoids with the intention of proceeding to higher orders.
The recent observations of type Ia supernovae suggest that the universe is accelerating now and decelerated in the recent past. This may be the evidence of the breakdown of the standard Friedmann equation. The Friedmann equation $H^2\sim…
