Abstract:
I will give a basic introduction to the various analytical approaches to describe the dynamics of compact binaries in general relativity. These include including post-Newtonian, post-Minkowskian and gravitational self-force theories, as well as the use of effective field theory and scattering amplitudes. I will also comment on their role in generating waveforms templates for gravitational wave observatories, and challenges ahead.
