Introduction to the Effective Field Theory Description of Gravity
read the original abstract
This is a pedagogical introduction to the treatment of general relativity as a quantum effective field theory. Gravity fits nicely into the effective field theory description and forms a good quantum theory at ordinary energies.

Stationary Einstein-vector-Gauss-Bonnet black holes
New stationary vectorized black holes exist in Einstein-vector-Gauss-Bonnet theory, including charged spherical, uncharged axial with magnetic moments, and rotating solutions bounded by Kerr and static cases.

Black hole mergers beyond general relativity: a self-force approach
Self-force theory is extended to compute merger and ringdown waveforms in beyond-GR black hole binaries under the extreme mass-ratio approximation, with first calculations of self-force corrections to the merger waveform.

Quantum gravity and matter fields in a general background gauge
One-loop effective action for quantum gravity plus matter is computed off-shell in a general background gauge, shown to be gauge-independent on-shell per the DeWitt-Kallosh theorem, and used to establish non-renormali...

Leading effective field theory corrections to the Kerr metric at all spins
Numerical solutions show that leading effective-field-theory corrections to the Kerr metric grow with spin and are largest near extremality.
