Frequency domain approach to self-force calculations
… the problem of computing the back-reaction, or self-force, caused by a point particle interacting with its own field is studied. In particular, motivated by the prospect of detecting gravitational waves from extreme mass ratio inspiral systems, we consider the motion of the particle in black …

Problems in point charge electrodynamics
… in the derivation of the electromagnetic self force for a point charge. The self force is given by the Abraham-von Laue vector, which consists of the radiation reaction term proportional to the 4-acceleration, and the Schott term proportional to the 4-jerk. In the point charge framework …

Topics in Gravitational-Wave Astrophysics
… we develop a waveform model, using recent self-force results, that captures</p> <p>the complete binary coalescence process. The self-force formalism was developed in</p> <p>the context of extreme mass-ratio binaries, and we successfully extend it to model</p> <p>intermediate mass-ratios.</p>

Effects of resonances and spin-curvature coupling in extreme mass ratio inspirals
… how to compute the dissipative part of this "self force," whose average impact is equivalent to the loss of energy and angular momentum due to gravitational wave emission. I study in particular how the self force's averaged behavior changes near orbital resonances, quantifying the impact that …

Fundamental issues in general relativity : inertia, gravitation and electromagnetic mass
… is distorted which gives rise to an electric self-force trying to force the electron to move downwards (hence the passive gravitational mass turns out to be electromagnetic); the anisotropy is compensated if the electron is falling with an acceleration g --in this case its electric field is …

Gyroscropes Orbiting Gargantuan Black Holes: Spinning Secondaries in Extreme Mass Ratio Inspirals
… post-geodesic effect is the gravitational self-force, which describes the small body's interaction with its own contribution to a binary's spacetime and includes the backreaction of gravitational-wave emission driving inspiral. Another post-geodesic effect, the spin-curvature force, is due …

Exploring fundamental physics with gravitational waves
… depend on exact treatment of the gravitational self-force, which is currently not available. The results of Gair, Bender, and Yunes are extended to higher-order in the on-resonance flux modification, and the instantaneous frequency approach is confirmed to be a valid treatment of this problem. …
