Dynamical Friction in an Ultralight Scalar Medium across Coherent and Stochastic Regimes
Soumodeep Mitra, Jordan Wilson-Gerow
We study the conservative and dissipative forces on a Newtonian binary interacting with a nonrelativistic ultralight scalar medium. We derive integral expressions for the instantan…
Renormalized Dynamical Friction in Black-Hole Spacetimes
Jordan Wilson-Gerow
We derive the renormalized local equation of motion for the gravitational self-force on a compact object moving through matter in a black-hole spacetime. We integrate out the envir…
A Unified Treatment of the Self-Force Problem
Beka Modrekiladze, Ira Z. Rothstein, Jordan Wilson-Gerow
This paper introduces formalism, based on worldline effective field theory, which allows one to systematically calculate the gravitational self-force on a compact object immersed i…
On Perturbatively Dressed Observables
Clifford Cheung, Allic Sivaramakrishnan, Jordan Wilson-Gerow +1
A central lesson of gravity is that local observables are ill-defined. Coordinates themselves are a redundancy of description, so any particular point in spacetime is only meaningf…
Conservative Dynamics of Relativistic Binaries Beyond Einstein Gravity
Jordan Wilson-Gerow
We study the conservative dynamics of spinless compact objects in a general effective theory of gravity which includes a metric and an arbitrary number of scalar fields, through $\…
On the Motion of Compact Objects in Relativistic Viscous Fluids
Beka Modrekiladze, Ira Z. Rothstein, Jordan Wilson-Gerow
We present a world-line effective field theory of compact objects moving relativistically through a viscous fluid. The theory is valid when velocity gradients are small compared to…
Gravitational Scattering and Beyond from Extreme Mass Ratio Effective Field Theory
Clifford Cheung, Julio Parra-Martinez, Ira Z. Rothstein +2
We explore a recently proposed effective field theory describing electromagnetically or gravitationally interacting massive particles in an expansion about their mass ratio, also k…
Decoherence by warm horizons
Jordan Wilson-Gerow, Annika Dugad, Yanbei Chen
Recently Danielson, Satishchandran, and Wald (DSW) have shown that quantum superpositions held outside of Killing horizons will decohere at a steady rate. This occurs because of th…
Testing Quantum Gravity using Pulsed Optomechanical Systems
Jordan Wilson-Gerow, Yanbei Chen, P. C. E. Stamp
An interesting idea, dating back to Feynman, argues that quantum mechanics may break down for large masses if one entertains the possibility that gravity can be "classical", thereb…
Conservative Scattering of Reissner-Nordström Black Holes at Third Post-Minkowskian Order
Jordan Wilson-Gerow
Using a recently developed effective field theory formalism for extreme mass ratios [2308.14832], we present a calculation of charged black hole scattering at third post-Minkowskia…
Effective Field Theory for Extreme Mass Ratios
Clifford Cheung, Julio Parra-Martinez, Ira Z. Rothstein +2
We derive an effective field theory describing a pair of gravitationally interacting point particles in an expansion in their mass ratio, also known as the self-force (SF) expansio…
Soft Theorems from Boundary Terms in the Classical Point Particle Currents
Colby DeLisle, Jordan Wilson-Gerow, Philip Stamp
Soft factorization has been shown to hold to sub-leading order in QED and to sub-sub-leading order in perturbative quantum gravity, with various loop and non-universal corrections…
Yang-Mills Gauss law and the heavy quark binding energy in the presence of a dimension-2 gluon condensate
Jordan Wilson-Gerow
We study the binding energy of a heavy quark-antiquark () pair using the first-order path integral formalism. This makes the Yang-Mills constraint equation explicit, and…
Correlated Worldline theory: Structure and Consistency
A. O. Barvinsky, J. Wilson-Gerow, P. C. E. Stamp
We give a formal treatment of the "Correlated Worldline" theory of quantum gravity. The generating functional is written as a product over multiple copies of the coupled matter and…
Propagators in the Correlated Worldline Theory of Quantum Gravity
Jordan Wilson-Gerow, P. C. E. Stamp
Starting from a formulation of Correlated Worldline (CWL) theory in terms of functional integrals over paths, we define propagators for particles and matter fields in this theory.…
Gauge Invariant Propagators and States in Quantum Electrodynamics
Jordan Wilson-Gerow, P. C. E. Stamp
We study gauge invariant states in QED, where states are understood in terms of data living on the boundary of gauge invariant path-integrals. This is done for both scalar and spin…
Gravitational Decoherence, Asymptotic Quantization, and Entanglement Measures
Colby DeLisle, Jordan Wilson-Gerow, Philip Stamp
Graviton emission decoheres superpositions of matter states. We write the decoherence rate in terms of a "differential Bondi news" function, and show that this function can be writ…
A functional approach to soft graviton scattering and BMS charges
Jordan Wilson-Gerow, Colby DeLisle, Philip Stamp
We consider the interaction between a matter system and soft gravitons. We use a functional eikonal expansion to deal with the infrared divergences, and introduce a "composite gene…
Black hole energy extraction via stationary scalar clouds
Jordan Wilson-Gerow, Adam Ritz
We study scalar field configurations around Kerr black holes with a time-independent energy-momentum tensor. These stationary `scalar clouds', confined near the black hole (BH) by…
