Motion of a spinning particle under the conservative piece of the self-force is Hamiltonian to first order in mass and spin

Abstract

We consider the motion of a point particle with spin in a stationary spacetime. We define, following Witzany (2019) and later Ramond (2022), a twelve dimensional Hamiltonian dynamical system whose orbits coincide with the solutions of the Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon equations of motion with the Tulczyjew-Dixon spin supplementary condition, to linear order in spin. We then perturb this system by adding the conservative pieces of the leading order gravitational self-force and self-torque sourced by the particle's mass and spin. We show that this perturbed system is Hamiltonian and derive expressions for the Hamiltonian function and symplectic form. This result extends our previous result for spinless point particles.
