Gravitational self-torque and spin precession in compact binaries
We calculate the effect of self-interaction on the "geodetic" spin precession of a compact body in a strong-field orbit around a black hole. Specifically, we consider the spin precession angle ? per radian of orbital revolution for a particle carrying mass ? and spin s?(G/c)?2 in a circula...
