Higher-order-in-spin interaction Hamiltonians for binary black holes from source terms of Kerr geometry in approximate ADM coordinates

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

The Kerr metric outside the ergosphere is transformed into ADM coordinates up to the orders 1/r41/r^4 and a2a^2, respectively in radial coordinate rr and reduced angular momentum variable aa, starting from the Kerr solution in quasi-isotropic as well as harmonic coordinates. The distributional source terms for the approximate solution are calculated. To leading order in linear momenta, higher-order-in-spin interaction Hamiltonians for black-hole binaries are derived.
