A compact stellar-mass object inspiralling onto a massive black hole deviates from geodesic motion due to radiation-reaction forces as well as finite-size effects. Such post-geodesic deviations need to be included with sufficient precision into wave-form models for the upcoming space-based gravitational-wave detector LISA. I present the formulation and solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation of geodesics near Kerr black holes perturbed by the so-called spin-curvature coupling, the leading order finite-size effect. In return, this solution allows to compute a number of observables such as the turning points of the orbits as well as the fundamental frequencies of motion. This result provides one of the necessary ingredients for waveform models for LISA and an important contribution useful for the relativistic two-body problem in general.

    Leading-order tidally induced quadrupoles destroy Kerr geodesic integrability: no polynomial deformation of the Carter constant is conserved for generic Love couplings and Kerr spin.

    Quadratic-in-spin MPTD dynamics in type-D Einstein spacetimes with Killing–Yano symmetry admits five commuting first integrals—hence Liouville–Arnold integrability—only when the spin-induced quadrupole deformability p...

    A classical interaction picture defines the classical eikonal directly in classical mechanics and yields all-order eikonal formulas for relativistic probes in EM and gravitational backgrounds.
