Applying the effective-source approach to frequency-domain self-force calculations: Lorenz-gauge gravitational perturbations

With a view to developing a formalism that will be applicable at second perturbative order, we devise a new practical scheme for computing the gravitational self-force experienced by a point mass moving in a curved background spacetime. Our method works in the frequency domain and employs the effect...
