We derive formulae that resum, at a given order in the soft limit, the infinite series of Post-Minkowskian (small gravitational coupling) or Post-Newtonian (small velocities) corrections to the gravitational waveform produced by particles moving along a general (open or closed) trajectory in the Schwarzschild geometry in the probe limit. Specifying to the case of circular orbits, we compute the waveform and the energy flux to order 30PN, and compare it against the available results in the literature. Our results are based on a novel hypergeometric representation of the solutions of the Heun equation (and its confluence), that leads to a simple mathematical proof of the Heun connection formula.

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    In higher-derivative gravity, the leading correction to extreme-mass-ratio inspiral waveforms and fluxes enters at 5PN order and is controlled by the ℓ=2 tidal Love number.

    The massive-particle radial action and scattering angle in Schwarzschild, Schwarzschild-Tangherlini and D3-brane geometries are resummed in hypergeometric/Fox-Wright form, and the massive scalar quantum a-cycle is ide...

    gr-qc 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Near-separatrix logarithmic divergence, anchored by fitted unstable-circular-orbit fluxes, yields resummed formulas for energy loss in extreme-mass-ratio scattering that track exact numerical calculations to about 10-25%.

    gr-qc 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A probe scattering off a Schwarzschild black hole transfers a definite leading-order post-Minkowskian angular momentum to the horizon, given by new closed formulas (3.24b), (3.29), (3.36).
