Local-in-Time Conservative Binary Dynamics at Fifth Post-Minkowskian and First Self-Force Orders

Christoph Dlapa, Gregor Kälin, Zhengwen Liu +1

We report the local-in-time conservative dynamics of nonspinning binary systems at fifth Post-Minkowskian (5PM) and first self-force (1SF) orders. This follows from an explicit cal…

Local-in-time Conservative Binary Dynamics at Fourth Post-Minkowskian Order

Christoph Dlapa, Gregor Kälin, Zhengwen Liu +1

Leveraging scattering information to describe binary systems in generic orbits requires identifying local- and nonlocal-in-time tail effects. We report here the derivation of the u…

Bootstrapping the relativistic two-body problem

Christoph Dlapa, Gregor Kälin, Zhengwen Liu +1

We describe the formalism to compute gravitational-wave observables for compact binaries via the effective field theory framework in combination with modern tools from collider phy…

Radiation Reaction and Gravitational Waves at Fourth Post-Minkowskian Order

Christoph Dlapa, Gregor Kälin, Zhengwen Liu +2

We obtain the total impulse in the scattering of non-spinning binaries in general relativity at fourth Post-Minkowskian order, i.e. , including linear, nonlinear, an…

Conservative Dynamics of Binary Systems at Fourth Post-Minkowskian Order in the Large-eccentricity Expansion

Christoph Dlapa, Gregor Kälin, Zhengwen Liu +1

We compute the conservative dynamics of non-spinning binaries at fourth Post-Minkowskian order in the large-eccentricity limit, including both potential and radiation-reaction tail…

The old conformal bootstrap revisited

Pedro Liendo, Zhengwen Liu, Junchen Rong

The "old" conformal bootstrap was originally formulated by Migdal and Polyakov (MP) as a method for calculating conformal dimensions self-consistently. In this work we revisit the…

Infrared photons and asymptotic symmetries

Zhengwen Liu, Pujian Mao

S-matrix elements exhibit universal factorization when multiple infrared photons are emitted in scattering processes. We explicitly show that the leading soft factorization of tree…

Dynamics of Binary Systems to Fourth Post-Minkowskian Order from the Effective Field Theory Approach

Christoph Dlapa, Gregor Kälin, Zhengwen Liu +1

We present the contribution from potential interactions to the dynamics of non-spinning binaries to fourth Post-Minkowskian (4PM) order. This is achieved by computing the scatterin…

Spin Effects in the Effective Field Theory Approach to Post-Minkowskian Conservative Dynamics

Zhengwen Liu, Rafael A. Porto, Zixin Yang

Building upon the worldline effective field theory (EFT) formalism for spinning bodies developed for the Post-Newtonian regime, we generalize the EFT approach to Post-Minkowskian (…

Conservative Tidal Effects in Compact Binary Systems to Next-to-Leading Post-Minkowskian Order

Gregor Kälin, Zhengwen Liu, Rafael A. Porto

Using the Effective Field Theory approach together with the Boundary-to-Bound map, we compute the next-to-leading order (NLO) Post-Minkowskian (PM) tidal effects in the conservativ…

Multi-Regge kinematics and the scattering equations

Claude Duhr, Zhengwen Liu

We study the solutions to the scattering equations in various quasi-multi-Regge regimes where the produced particles are ordered in rapidity. We observe that in all cases the solut…

Gravitational Scattering in the High-Energy Limit

Zhengwen Liu

Any gravitational scattering amplitude takes a remarkably simple factorized form at tree level in multi-Regge kinematics (MRK), where the produced particles are strongly ordered in…

Bootstrapping solutions of scattering equations

Zhengwen Liu, Xiaoran Zhao

The scattering equations are a set of algebraic equations connecting the kinematic space of massless particles and the moduli space of Riemann spheres with marked points. We presen…

A note on connected formula for form factors

Song He, Zhengwen Liu

In this note we study the connected prescription, originally derived from Witten's twistor string theory, for tree-level form factors in super-Yang-Mills theory. The c…

Scattering Equations, Twistor-string Formulas and Double-soft Limits in Four Dimensions

Song He, Zhengwen Liu, Jun-Bao Wu

We study scattering equations and formulas for tree amplitudes of various theories in four dimensions, in terms of spinor helicity variables and on-shell superspace for supersymmet…

Soft theorems in maximally supersymmetric theories

Zheng-Wen Liu

In this paper we study the supersymmetric generalization of the new soft theorem which was proposed by Cachazo and Strominger recently. At tree level, we prove the validity of the…
