The general relativistic two body problem
Thibault Damour
The two-body problem in General Relativity has been the subject of many analytical investigations. After reviewing some of the methods used to tackle this problem (and, more genera…
High-order post-Newtonian contributions to the two-body gravitational interaction potential from analytical gravitational self-force calculations
Donato Bini, Thibault Damour
We extend the analytical determination of the main radial potential describing (within the effective one-body formalism) the gravitational interaction of two bodies beyond the 4th…
Merger states and final states of black hole coalescences: a numerical-relativity-assisted effective-one-body approach
Thibault Damour, Alessandro Nagar, Loic Villain
We study to what extent the effective-one-body description of the dynamical state of a nonspinning, coalescing binary black hole (considered either at merger, or after ringdown) ag…
Error-analysis and comparison to analytical models of numerical waveforms produced by the NRAR Collaboration
Ian Hinder, Alessandra Buonanno, Michael Boyle +53
The Numerical-Relativity-Analytical-Relativity (NRAR) collaboration is a joint effort between members of the numerical relativity, analytical relativity and gravitational-wave data…
Analytical determination of the two-body gravitational interaction potential at the 4th post-Newtonian approximation
Donato Bini, Thibault Damour
We complete the analytical determination, at the 4th post-Newtonian approximation, of the main radial potential describing the gravitational interaction of two bodies within the ef…
Quantum Supersymmetric Cosmology and its Hidden Kac-Moody Structure
Thibault Damour, Philippe Spindel
We study the quantum dynamics of a supersymmetric squashed three-sphere by dimensionally reducing (to one timelike dimension) the action of D=4 simple supergravity for an SO(3)-hom…
