38+15 pages. v3 Corrected the dissipative tail terms, previously taken from Eq. (C12) of Bini et al. [2210.07165], upon recognizing that Eq. (C12) contains additional contributions. The total scattering angle is updated accordingly in the text and ancillary file. All other results are unchanged. The conservative sector is unaltered
Using the worldline action in [2409.05860], we derive the total even-in-velocity (relative) impulse, scattering angle, and time delay at fifth post-Newtonian (5PN) order, including radiation-reaction and hereditary contributions at ${\cal O}(G^5ν^2)$ and ${\cal O}(G^6ν^2)$. We introduce an isotropic-like description which, together with the associated losses of energy and angular momentum, fixes the evolution of the system from scattering data. This framework opens the door to an unambiguous characterization of the underlying two-body dynamics solely in terms of scattering observables. Following [2409.05860], we isolate a conservative component using Feynman's $i0^+$ prescription. This sector contains both "tail-like" and "memory-like" contributions, the latter being nonlocal in time and described by a double Principal-Value integral. Owing to the local-in-time character of the corresponding (in-in) action, we establish a systematic procedure that is consistent with Feynman's prescription while preserving the complete local dynamics. This provides a universal contribution to the conservative (isotropic) Hamiltonian at 5PN order and, as a byproduct, also fixes the value of the Effective One Body coefficients $\{{\bar d}_{5{\rm loc}}, a_{6{\rm loc}}\}$ consistently with the Tutti-Frutti framework. For completeness, we analyse the "$γ\text{-}3$" prescription introduced in recent post-Minkowskian computations. When implemented in our formalism, we find exact agreement over the overlapping regime of validity. In contrast, Feynman's prescription yields a (local) memory-like contribution with the opposite sign at ${\cal O}(G^5ν^2)$. We also find that an analogous $γ\text{-}3$ rerouting at ${\cal O}(G^6ν^2)$ would be incompatible with the conjecture that all $π^2$ terms arise solely from the potential region, while Feynman's formulation preserves this expectation.
Novel approach to binary dynamics: application to the fifth post-Newtonian level
介绍了一种新的方法来推导引力相互作用双星系统的保守动力学。我们的方法以一种新颖的方式结合了几种理论形式:后牛顿,后闵可夫斯基,多极后闵可夫斯基,引力自力和有效的一体。我们应用我们的方法来推导第五后牛顿动力学。通过将我们的结果限制到第三个后Minkowski水平,我们首次独立地证实了Bern { \it et al.} [物理学]修订版本\ Lett. { \bf 122},201603(2019)]。我们还为未来的第四次后闵可夫斯基计算提供了检查。我们的技术,原则上,可以扩展到更高阶的微扰理论。
