Abstract

We present a practical method for calculating the gravitational self-force, as well as the electromagnetic and scalar self forces, for a particle in a generic orbit around a Kerr black hole. In particular, we provide the values of all the regularization parameters needed for implementing the (previously introduced) {\it mode-sum regularization} method. We also address the gauge-regularization problem, as well as a few other issues involved in the calculation of gravitational radiation-reaction in Kerr spacetime.
