Description
Over the past two decades, ideas and techniques originating from particle physics—and more broadly from quantum and classical field theory—have been increasingly and successfully applied to the study of compact binaries in general relativity.
Non-Relativistic General Relativity is one of the precursors of this trend; in this talk I will describe its contributions to the field from the simplest cases to the latest developments.
