The motion of point particles in curved spacetime

E Poisson, A Pound, I Vega - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2011 - Springer
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 …

Motion of small objects in curved spacetimes: An introduction to gravitational self-force

A Pound - Equations of Motion in Relativistic Gravity, 2015 - Springer
In recent years, asymptotic approximation schemes have been developed to describe the
motion of a small compact object through a vacuum background to any order in perturbation …

Self-force via m-mode regularization and 2<? format?>+<? format?> 1 D evolution. III.<? format?> Gravitational field on Schwarzschild spacetime

SR Dolan, L Barack - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2013 - APS
This is the third in a series of papers aimed at developing a practical time-domain method for
self-force calculations in Kerr spacetime. The key elements of the method are (i) removal of a …

Mechanics of extended masses in general relativity

AI Harte - Classical and quantum gravity, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract The'external'or'bulk'motion of extended bodies is studied in general relativity.
Compact material objects of essentially arbitrary shape, spin, internal composition and …

High-order expansions of the Detweiler-Whiting singular field in Schwarzschild spacetime

A Heffernan, A Ottewill, B Wardell - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields …, 2012 - APS
The self-field of a charged particle has a singular component which diverges at the particle.
We use both coordinate and covariant approaches to compute an expansion of this singular …

Motion in classical field theories and the foundations of the self-force problem

AI Harte - Equations of Motion in Relativistic Gravity, 2015 - Springer
This article serves as a pedagogical introduction to the problem of motion in classical field
theories. The primary focus is on self-interaction: How does an object's own field affect its …

Self-force: computational strategies

B Wardell - Equations of Motion in Relativistic Gravity, 2015 - Springer
Building on substantial foundational progress in understanding the effect of a small body's
self-field on its own motion, the past 15 years has seen the emergence of several strategies …

Local symmetries as constraints on the motion of freely falling extended bodies

AI Harte, D Dwyer - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
Different extended objects can fall in different ways, depending on their internal structures.
Some motions are nevertheless impossible, regardless of internal structure. This paper …

High-order expansions of the Detweiler-Whiting singular field in Kerr spacetime

A Heffernan, A Ottewill, B Wardell - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields …, 2014 - APS
In a previous paper, we computed expressions for the Detweiler-Whiting singular field of
point scalar, electromagnetic and gravitational charges following a geodesic of the …
