Derivation of gravitational self-force
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: We analyze the issue of ``particle motion in general relativity in a systematic and rigorous way by considering a one-parameter family of metrics corresponding to having a body (or black hole) that is ``scaled down to zero size and mass in an appropriate manner. We prove that the limiting worldline of such a one-parameter family must be a geodesic of the background metric and obtain the leading order perturbative corrections, which include gravitational self-force, spin force, and geodesic deviation effects. The status the MiSaTaQuWa equation is explained as a candidate ``self-consistent perturbative equation associated with our rigorous perturbative result
