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…

We investigate the Magnus expansion of the $N$-operator in relativistic quantum field theory, which is related to the $S$-matrix via $S = e^{iN}$. We develop direct methods to compute matrix elements of the $N$-operator, which we refer to…

Emitted radiation and absorption effects in black hole dynamics lead to inelastic scattering amplitudes. In this paper, we study how these effects introduce an inelasticity function to the $2\rightarrow2$ eikonalised $S$-matrix and how they…

Generically coupled neutral scalar bosons and chiral fermions are shown, in the eikonal kinematical limit, to be described by a reduced (free field) theory with N=1 {\it on-shell} supersymmetry. {\it Charged} scalars and spinors turn out to…
