Post-adiabatic models of extreme- and intermediate-mass-ratio inspirals will require calculations of second-order gravitational self-force effects in the spacetime of a spinning, Kerr black hole. We take a step toward such calculations by implementing the recently formulated Teukolsky puncture scheme with Green-Hollands-Zimmerman metric reconstruction [CQG 39, 015019 (2022)]. This scheme eliminates the critical obstacle of gauge singularities that arise in the standard no-string metric reconstruction. Our first proof-of-principle implementation is limited to the simple case of circular orbits in Schwarzschild spacetime, but the method also applies to generic orbits on a Kerr background. We conclude with a discussion of various approaches to the second-order self-force problem in Kerr.

  1. Metric reconstruction and the Hamiltonian for eccentric, precessing binaries in the small-mass-ratio limit

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    First-order metric perturbations and the generalized redshift invariant are computed for eccentric, precessing orbits in Kerr spacetime using four metric reconstruction methods, with open-source code provided.

  2. Extreme mass-ratio inspiral within an ultralight scalar cloud I. Scalar radiation

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Scalar radiation from an EMRI in an ultralight scalar cloud is computed semi-analytically, showing dipole clouds decelerate and quadrupole clouds accelerate the inspiral, with up to about 100 rad dephasing after 18 months.
