Gravitational Radiation Reaction and Self-Force  

In General > s.a. orbits of gravitating bodies; Post-Newtonian Formalism; radiation reaction in general.
* Results: A point particle perturbs the spacetime metric, and affects its own motion; In the zero mass limit it moves along a geodesic, but to first order in m it accelerates, and there are two effects, a time-dependent inertial mass and a deviation from geodesic motion (like geodesic motion for a modified metric); The infinite self-field can be unambiguously decomposed into a singular piece that exerts no force, and a smooth remainder that is responsible for the acceleration.
* Approaches: Barack/Burko/Ori's mode-sum regularization prescription (MSRP).
