Gravitational self-force in a Schwarzschild background and the effective one-body formalism

Gravitational self-force in a Schwarzschild background and the effective one-body formalism

We discuss various ways in which the computation of conservative gravitational self-force (GSF) effects on a point mass moving in a Schwarzschild background can inform us about the basic building blocks of the effective one-body (EOB) Hamiltonian. We display the information which can be extracted from the recently published GSF …
