    Bootstrap** the relativistic two-body problem

    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 physics. We put particular empha...

    Radiation-reaction in the Effective Field Theory approach to Post-Minkowskian dynamics

    We extend the Post-Minkowskian (PM) effective field theory (EFT) approach to incorporate conservative and dissipative radiation-reaction effects in a unified framework. This is achieved by implementing the Sch...

    From boundary data to bound states. Part III. Radiative effects

    We extend the boundary-to-bound (B2B) correspondence to incorporate radiative as well as conservative radiation-reaction effects. We start by deriving a map between the total change in observables due to gravitat...

    Spin effects in the effective field theory approach to Post-Minkowskian conservative dynamics

    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 (PM) dynamics to include rotat...

    Post-Minkowskian effective field theory for conservative binary dynamics

    We develop an Effective Field Theory (EFT) formalism to solve for the conservative dynamics of binary systems in gravity via Post-Minkowskian (PM) scattering data. Our framework combines a systematic EFT appro...

    From boundary data to bound states. Part II. Scattering angle to dynamical invariants (with twist)

    We recently introduced in [9] a boundary-to-bound dictionary between gravitational scattering data and observables for bound states of non-spinning bodies. In this paper, we elaborate further on this holographic ...

    From boundary data to bound states

    We introduce a — somewhat holographic — dictionary between gravitational observables for scattering processes (measured at the boundary) and adiabatic invariants for bound orbits (in the bulk), to all orders in t...

    Gravitational self-force in the ultra-relativistic limit: the “large-N ” expansion

    We study the gravitational self-force using the effective field theory formalism. We show that in the ultra-relativistic limit γ → ∞, with γ the boost factor, many simplifications arise. Drawing parallels with th...

    Dissipative effects in the effective field theory of inflation

    Fundamental Loss of Quantum Coherence from Quantum Gravity

    We discuss the fundamental loss of unitarity that appears in quantum mechanics when one uses physically realistic devices to measure time and space. The effect is independent of any interaction with the enviro...

    Fundamental decoherence from quantum gravity: a pedagogical review

    We present a discussion of the fundamental loss of unitarity that appears in quantum mechanics due to the use of a physical apparatus to measure time. This induces a decoherence effect that is independent of a...
