We derive the radial action of a spinning probe particle in Kerr spacetime from the worldline formalism in the first-order form, focusing on linear in spin effects. We then develop a novel covariant Dirac bracket formalism to compute the…
We introduce a -- somewhat holographic -- dictionary between gravitational observables for scattering processes (measured at the "boundary") and adiabatic invariants for bound orbits (in the "bulk"), to all orders in the Post-Minkowskian…
The Hamilton-Jacobi equation for test particles in the Kerr geometry is separable. Using action-angle variables, we establish several relations between various physical quantities that characterize bound timelike geodesic orbits around a…
We derive the conditions for a non-equatorial eccentric bound orbit to exist around a Kerr black hole in two-parameter spaces: the energy, angular momentum of the test particle, spin of the black hole, and Carter's constant space ($E$, $L$,…
The correspondence between gravitational observables derived from scattering processes and adiabatic invariants in bound orbits, within the framework of the Post-Minkowskian (PM) expansion, has garnered significant attention in the study of…
Black holes are an ubiquitous end state of stellar evolution and successfully explain some of the most extreme physics encountered in astronomical observations. The Kerr geometry is the known exact solution to Einstein's equations for a…
The Gibbons-Werner method for the gravitational deflection angle of unbound particles in static spherically symmetric spacetimes is based on Jacobi metric and Gauss-Bonnet theorem. When it is extended to bound massive particles, there…
We show that for an eikonal limit of gravity in a space-time of any dimension with a non-vanishing cosmological constant, the Einstein -- Hilbert action reduces to a boundary action. This boundary action describes the interaction of…
We recently introduced in [1910.03008] a "boundary-to-bound" dictionary between gravitational scattering data and observables for bound states of non-spinning bodies. In this paper, we elaborate further on this (holographic) map. We start…
We consider simply connected bodies or regions of finite extent in space or space-time and write conservation laws associated with the equations in Parts I-IV. We review earlier work where, for elliptic equations,the boundary value problem…
Starting with the Dirac equation outside the event horizon of a non-extreme Kerr black hole, we develop a time-dependent scattering theory for massive Dirac particles. The explicit computation of the modified wave operators at infinity is…
In the last decade, the first law of binary black hole mechanics played an important unifying role in the gravitational two-body problem. More recently, binary black hole scattering and the application of high-energy physics methods have…
We derive alternate and new closed-form analytic solutions for the non-equatorial eccentric bound trajectories, $\{ \phi \left( r, \theta \right)$, $\ t \left( r, \theta \right),\ r \left( \theta \right) \}$, around a Kerr black hole by…
As recent work continues to demonstrate, the study of relativistic scattering processes leads to valuable insights and computational tools applicable to the relativistic bound-orbit two-body problem. This is particularly relevant in the…
We continue to investigate correspondences between, on the one hand, scattering amplitudes for massive higher-spin particles and gravitons in appropriate quantum-to-classical limits, and on the other hand, classical gravitational…
A new approach leading to the formulation of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for field theories is investigated within the framework of jet-bundles and multi-symplectic manifolds. An algorithm associating classes of solutions to given sets of…
It has been suggested that amplitudes for quantum higher-spin massive particles exchanging gravitons lead, via a classical limit, to results for scattering of spinning black holes in general relativity, when the massive particles are in a…
The Wigner time delay of a classically chaotic quantum system can be expressed semiclassically either in terms of pairs of scattering trajectories that enter and leave the system or in terms of the periodic orbits trapped inside the system.…
We present new families of bound, closed, nonelliptical orbits that are supported by various spherical potentials in clear contradiction to Newton's and Bertrand's theorems. We calculate analytically some typical closed orbits of…
In this paper we treat the black hole horizon as a physical boundary to the spacetime and study its dynamics following from the Gibbons-Hawking-York boundary term. Using the Kerr black hole as an example we derive an effective action that…
