abstract

We introduce a classical version of the loop corrected soft graviton theorem and we use it to compute the universal part of the one-loop (2PM) waveform up to sub-subleading order in the energy $\omega$ of the emitted graviton for spinless black-hole scattering. In particular, we compute the action of the soft operators on the classically resummed four-point amplitude, that can be written in terms of the exponential of the eikonal phase (and is therefore non-perturbative in the Newton's constant $G_N$) and then we perform the usual PM expansion in powers of $G_N$ . We find perfect agreement with the existing 2PM literature at the orders $\omega^{-1}$, $\log\omega$ and $\omega\log^2\omega$, which are universal. Furthermore, we use this method to compute the universal part of the $\omega\log\omega$ contribution to the 2PM waveform. Even if in the present analysis we limit ourselves to compute the soft 2PM waveform, our general formulae can be used to extract all universal PM orders of the terms connected with the infrared divergences, once the impulse at the corresponding precision is known. Our approach, based on the resummed eikonal amplitude, gives a unified picture of the various computations of the classical soft graviton behaviour that are present in the literature since the seminal paper by Weinberg in 1965.

    In d>4, soft photon emission acquires a universal omega^{d-4} ln omega factor, producing power-law early- and late-time radiative tails in the classical electromagnetic waveform.
