abstract
Extreme mass-ratio inspirals detectable by the future Laser Interferometer Space Antenna provide a unique way to test general relativity and fundamental physics. Motivated by this possibility, here we study in detail the EMRI dynamics in the presence of a spinning secondary, collecting and extending various results that appeared in previous work and also providing useful intermediate steps and new relations for the first time. We present the results of a frequency-domain code that computes gravitational-wave fluxes and the adiabatic orbital evolution for the case of circular, equatorial orbits with (anti)aligned spins. The spin of the secondary starts affecting the gravitational-wave phase at the same post-adiabatic order as the leading-order self-force terms and introduces a detectable dephasing, which can be used to measure it at $5-25\%$ level, depending on individual spins. In a companion paper we discuss the implication of this effect for tests of the Kerr bound.

Symplectic mechanics of relativistic spinning compact bodies. III. quadratic-in-spin integrability in Type-D Einstein spacetimes: persistence and breakdown
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...

Stepping Up Superradiance Constraints on Axions
Including superradiant axion states through n=5 with relativistic scattering rates strengthens black-hole spin-down constraints on axions by roughly an order of magnitude.
