This review is concerned with the motion of a point scalar charge, a point electric charge,
and a point mass in a specified background spacetime. In each of the three cases the …

This review is concerned with the gravitational self-force acting on a mass particle in orbit
around a large black hole. Renewed interest in this old problem is driven by the prospects of …

No, within a broad class of scenarios. Gravitational-wave (GW) astronomy will open a new
window on compact objects such as neutron stars and black holes (BHs). It is often stated …

A bstract Lorentzian correlators of local operators exhibit surprising singularities in theories
with gravity duals. These are associated with null geodesics in an emergent bulk geometry …

LISA, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, will usher in a new era in gravitational-wave
astronomy. As the first anticipated space-based gravitational-wave detector, it will expand …

I review the problem of motion for small bodies in general relativity, with an emphasis on
developing a self-consistent treatment of the gravitational self-force. An analysis of the …

We consider a wide class of static spherically symmetric black holes of arbitrary dimension
with a photon sphere (a hypersurface on which a massless particle can orbit the black hole …

We conduct an analysis of the quasinormal modes for generic spin perturbations of the Kerr
black hole using the isomonodromic method. The strategy consists of solving the Riemann …

We investigate the possibility of overcharging spherically symmetric black holes in
spacetime dimensions D> 4 by the capture of a charged particle. We generalize Wald's …

We present a new method for determining the frequencies and wavefunctions of black hole
quasinormal modes (QNMs) and Regge poles. The key idea is a novel ansatz for the …
