Unexpected Symmetries of Kerr Black Hole Scattering

Dogan Akpinar, Graham R. Brown, Riccardo Gonzo +1

Motivated by the recent introduction of the Dirac bracket framework to compute spinning observables for the scattering of Kerr black holes, we initiate the study of conserved quant…

The Magnus expansion in relativistic quantum field theory

Andreas Brandhuber, Graham R. Brown, Paolo Pichini +2

We investigate the Magnus expansion of the -operator in relativistic quantum field theory, which is related to the -matrix via . We develop direct methods to comp…

Higher spin fields and the field strength multicopy

Graham R. Brown, Bill Spence

We discuss the generalisation of the Weyl double copy to higher spin "multi-copies", showing how the natural linearised higher spin field strengths can be related to sums of powers…

Spinning quadrupoles in effective field theories of gravity

Andreas Brandhuber, Graham R. Brown, Gabriele Travaglini +1

We study the effect of the two independent parity-even cubic interactions and $ G_3 = I_1 -2 {R^{μνα}}_β{R^{βγ}}…

One-loop Gravitational Bremsstrahlung and Waveforms from a Heavy-Mass Effective Field Theory

Andreas Brandhuber, Graham R. Brown, Gang Chen +3

Using a heavy-mass effective field theory (HEFT), we study gravitational-wave emission in the scattering of two spinless black holes or neutron stars of arbitrary masses at next-to…

Spinning waveforms in cubic effective field theories of gravity

Andreas Brandhuber, Graham R. Brown, Gang Chen +2

We derive analytic all-order-in-spin expressions for the leading-order time-domain waveforms generated in the scattering of two Kerr black holes with arbitrary masses and spin vect…
