Description
I review how to compute the adiabatic radiation reaction to the
constants of motion including the Carter constant in Kerr spacetime.
I also talk about extending these ideas to post-adiabatic order, i.e.,
one order higher in the mass ratio, which would significantly simplifies
the construction of the gravitational wave waveform necessary for
the observation of extreme mass-ratio in-spirals.
