The Effective Field Theorist's Approach to Gravitational Dynamics

arXiv:1601.04914 · doi:10.1016/j.physrep.2016.04.003

Abstract

We review the effective field theory (EFT) approach to gravitational dynamics. We focus on extended objects in long-wavelength backgrounds and gravitational wave emission from spinning binary systems. We conclude with an introduction to EFT methods for the study of cosmological large scale structures.
