Description

High-precision theoretical predictions for the motion of compact binary systems are essential for maximizing the discovery potential of current and next-generation gravitational-wave observations, such as LIGO-Virgo-Kagra, Taiji, TianQin, and the Einstein Telescope. The Effective Field Theory (EFT) methodology, integrated with state-of-the-art multi-loop computational techniques, has proven exceptionally powerful for analytically tackling the classical two-body problem. This talk explores recent advancements in modern EFT methods and their application to computing gravitational two-body dynamics in the post-Minkowskian approximation.
