Using scattering amplitudes, we obtain the potential contributions to conservative binary dynamics in general relativity at fourth post-Minkowskian order, ${\cal O}(G^4)$. As in previous lower-order calculations, we harness powerful tools…

The 1D flux power spectrum ($P_{\mathrm{1D}}$) of the Ly$\alpha$ forest provides an exceptionally high-resolution probe of structure formation down to small scales ($k\approx1-10~\text{$h~$Mpc$^{-1}$}$). These scales carry the imprints of…

The method of effective field theories (EFTs) is developed for the scattering of two particles at wavelengths which are large compared to the range of their interaction. It is shown that the renormalized EFT is equivalent to the effective…

We revisit the fundamentals of two different methods for calculating classical observables: the eikonal method, which is a scattering amplitude-based method, and the worldline quantum field theory (WQFT) method. The latter has been…
