Exact Solution for Relativistic Two-Body Motion in Dilaton Gravity

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

We present an exact solution to the problem of the relativistic motion of 2 point masses in (1+1)(1+1) dimensional dilaton gravity. The motion of the bodies is governed entirely by their mutual gravitational influence, and the spacetime metric is likewise fully determined by their stress-energy. A Newtonian limit exists, and there is a static gravitational potential. Our solution gives the exact Hamiltonian to infinite order in the gravitational coupling constant.
