2) We have demonstrated the ability of the EFT framework to tackle also the dynamics of large scale structures, reaching the state-of-the-art at third order in density fluctuations.
3) Following modern tools for the study of scattering processes, we have developed a map, coined the "boundary to bound" (B2B) dictionary, to relate scattering data to observables for bound orbits. This has opened a new path to using powerful tools from scattering amplitudes and novel integration techniques to study the binary problem.
4) We have developed an EFT formalism to tackle the scattering problem in the Post-Minkowskian (PM) regime.
5) We have used this novel PM EFT to reach the state-of-the-art at third PM order.
6) We have incorporated quadrupolar and octupolar tidal effects to NLO using the PM EFT, yielding the present state-of-the-art.
7) We have also developed the concept of 'gravitational collider physics' - using gravitational wave precision data to constrain the nature of compact objects.
8) We have extended the B2B dictionary relating scattering data and observables for bound orbits to incorporate radiation effects in the two-body problem.
9) We have used the EFT framework in the PN regime to compute the spin-dependent contribution to the gravitational wave phase evolution to 3PN and 4PN orders, corresponding to the state-of-the-art for spin effects in the literature.
10) Using the EFT formalism in the PM regime we have reached the state-of-the-art for the dynamics of spinning binaries at 2PM order.
11) We have computed radiative effects (including hereditary contributions) to 3PN orders for hyperbolic orbits.
12) In collaboration with other groups we have computed the radiative moments needed to complete the gravitational wave flux to 4PN order.
13) We have derived the conservative Keplerian solution to 4PN for eccentric orbits.
14) Using the EFT framework in the PM scheme we have computed the conservative dynamics of non-spinning binary systems including potential and radiation-reaction tail effects to 4PM order. This result includes an infinite tower of velocity corrections at all PN orders at O(G^4).
15) We have extended the EFT formalism to incorporate dissipative effects and rederived the state-of-the-art at 3PM order.
16) We have computed for the first time the complete conservative and dissipative dynamics of non-spinning binaries to 4PM order. Our results have been confirmed by independent derivations and used to compute extremely accurate models that match numerical simulations with exquisite precision for hyperbolic-type encounters.
17) We have put forward a fully systematic framework to "bootstrap" the relativistic two-body problem from the knowledge in the regime of small velocities, by using novel integration techniques from collider physics such as the use of differential equations and method of regions.
18) In collaboration with another group we have completed the gravitational-wave phase evolution at 4PN order.
19) We have shown that the vanishing of tidal response functions (Love numbers) still applies in the non-linear gravitational regime.
20) The local (universal) contribution to the conservative dynamics at 4PM order were obtained for the first time, providing the most accurate description of gravitationally-bound two-body systems harnessing information from scattering processes to date.
21) Preliminary work is ongoing to complete the 5PN conservative dynamics of binary systems.
