Slow-motion scattering and coalescence of maximally charged black holes

Systems consisting of several maximally charged, nonrotating black holes ('Reissner-Nordstrom' black holes) interacting with one another are studied. An effective action for the system in the slow-motion, fully strong-field regime is presented. An exact calculation of black-hole-black-hole...

Zusammenfassung:	Systems consisting of several maximally charged, nonrotating black holes ('Reissner-Nordstrom' black holes) interacting with one another are studied. An effective action for the system in the slow-motion, fully strong-field regime is presented. An exact calculation of black-hole-black-hole scattering and coalescence in the slow-motion (but strong-field) limit is given.
