We provide universal expressions for the classical piece of the amplitude given by the graviton/photon exchange between massive particles of arbitrary spin, at both tree and one loop level. In the gravitational case this leads to higher…

We compute the scattering amplitude for classical black-hole scattering to third order in the Post-Minkowskian expansion, keeping all terms needed to derive the scattering angle to that order from the eikonal formalism. Our results confirm…
The scattering of relativistic Dirac particles by a Coulomb field $\pm Ze^2/r$ in two dimensions is studied and the scattering amplitude is obtained as a partial wave series. For small $Z$ the series can be summed up approximately to give a…
We apply a type of background independent "polymer" quantization to a free scalar field in a flat spacetime. Using semi-classical states, we find an effective wave equation that is both nonlinear and Lorentz invariance violating. We solve…
In this work, by a novel approach to studying the scattering of a Schwarzschild black hole, the non-commutativity is introduced as a perturbation. We begin by reformulating the Klein-Gordon equation for the scalar field in a new form that…

Hawking radiation remains a crucial theoretical prediction of semi-classical gravity and is considered one of the critical tests for a model of quantum gravity. However, Hawking's original derivation used quantum field theory on a fixed…
