We discuss a geometrical method to define a preferred reference frame for precessing binary systems and the gravitational waves they emit. This minimal-rotation frame is aligned with the angular-momentum axis and fixes the rotation about…
Planetary, stellar and galactic physics often rely on the general restricted gravitational N-body problem to model the motion of a small-mass object under the influence of much more massive objects. Here, I formulate the general restricted…
Gravitational lensing in metric theories of gravity is discussed. I introduce a generalized approximate metric element, inclusive of both post-post-Newtonian (ppN) contributions and gravito-magnetic field. Following Fermat's principle and…

Observables of cosmic structures are usually not the underlying matter field but biased tracers of matter, such as galaxies or halos. We show how the bias found in Newtonian N-body simulations can be interpreted in terms of the weak-field…
We consider the motion of small bodies in general relativity. The key result captures a sense in which such bodies follow timelike geodesics (or, in the case of charged bodies, Lorentz-force curves). This result clarifies the relationship…
Recently proposed quantization in field theory based on an analogue of Hamiltonian formulation which treats space and time on equal footing (the so-called De Donder-Weyl theory) is applied to General Relativity in metric variables. We…
According to General Relativity, as distinct from Newtonian gravity, motion under gravity is treated by a theory that deals, initially, only with test particles. At the same time, satellite measurements deal with extended bodies. We discuss…
Geometric techniques have played an important role in the seventies, for the study of the spectrum of many-body Schr\"odinger operators. In this paper we provide a formalism which also allows to study nonlinear systems. We start by defining…

The accuracy of astrometric observations conducted via a space-borne optical interferometer orbiting the Earth is expected to approach a few microarcseconds. Data processing of such extremely high-precision measurements requires access to a…
