Before our group website is established, I temporarily use this page to organize and share reading materials. Based on our discussion yesterday, we found that everyone shares a common interest in the Gravitational Self-Force formalism. Therefore, we have decided to make this topic one of focused themes of our QFT-GW JC, which will likely span 4-6 sessions.
Below are several introductory and advanced references that I recommend based on my experience. Your comments, additions, and suggestions are very welcome.
- Lectures on Gravitational Self-Force (GSF) Formalism by Adam Pound
Slides at Nordic Winter School, 2022

This is a widely recommended and accessible review for beginners. I suggest using it as the main reading material for our focused discussions. Of course, you are encouraged to read other sources.
