Supertranslations are Soft Dressings

Asaad Elkhidir, Donal O'Connell, Radu Roiban

Asymptotic states of massive particles in electrodynamics and gravity are not uniquely defined because of the absence of a mass gap. Working in the KMOC formalism, we study the cla…

Asymptotic Simplicity and Scattering in General Relativity from Quantum Field Theory

Stefano De Angelis, Aidan Herderschee, Radu Roiban +1

We investigate the fate of asymptotic simplicity in physically relevant settings of compact-object scattering. Using the stress tensor of a two-body system as a source, we compute…

Scattering Amplitudes and Conservative Binary Dynamics at without Self-Force Truncation

Zvi Bern, Enrico Herrmann, Radu Roiban +4

We compute the complete potential-graviton contributions to the conservative radial action and scattering angle for two non-spinning bodies in general relativity, accurate through…

Second-order self-force potential-region binary dynamics at in supergravity

Zvi Bern, Enrico Herrmann, Radu Roiban +4

We compute the potential-graviton contributions to the conservative scattering angle of two non-spinning bodies in maximal supergravity at fifth order in Newton's constant, includi…

Observables and Unconstrained Spin Tensor Dynamics in General Relativity from Scattering Amplitudes

Mark Alaverdian, Zvi Bern, Dimitrios Kosmopoulos +4

In a previous Letter, we showed that physical scattering observables for compact spinning objects in general relativity can depend on additional degrees of freedom in the spin tens…

Amplitudes, Supersymmetric Black Hole Scattering at , and Loop Integration

Zvi Bern, Enrico Herrmann, Radu Roiban +4

We compute the potential-graviton contribution to the scattering amplitude, the radial action, and the scattering angle of two extremal black holes in N = 8 supergravity at the fif…
