Abstract
We study systems consisting of several maximally charged, nonrotating black holes (‘‘Reissner-Nordstrom’’ black holes) interacting with one another. We present an effective action for the system in the slow-motion, fully strong-field regime. We give an exact calculation of black-hole–black-hole scattering and coalescence in the slow-motion (but strong-field) limit.Keywords
