Comparing a Compact-Binary Mass-Shell Model with Select Observed Gravitational Waves
Noah M. MacKay
In a recent work, coalescing compact binaries (CCBs) were modeled as a rotating and contracting compact mass shell, providing an alternative effective representation to the state-o…
Effective Field Theory Calculation of LIGO-like Compton Scattering
Noah M. MacKay
We use effective field theory (EFT) to calculate the scattering amplitude of a LIGO-like graviton-scalar Compton interaction. We gauge the center-of-momentum energy betw…
Gravitational Wave Generation via the Einstein-Langevin Equation
Noah M. MacKay
Detections of gravitational waves (GWs) since GW150914 has gained a contemporary interest in a potential quantum-classical correspondence between GWs and hypothetical gravitons. On…
A Mass-Shell Model of Compact Binary Coalescence
Noah M. MacKay
The final pulse of gravitational wave (GW) emission is released at the peak of the chirp rise before compact binary merger. LIGO detections since GW150914 reveal a correlation betw…
Remarks on "The Modification of Feynman Diagrams in Curved Space-Time"
Noah M. MacKay
The arXiv preprint 2411.15164v1 \cite{Li:2024ltx} discusses how a weak Schwarzschild spacetime modifies Feynman diagram calculations and the governing equations of scalar and spino…
