Effective-action model for dynamical scalarization beyond the adiabatic approximation

Abstract
The authors provide a model for dynamical scalarization, beyond the adiabatic approximation, using effective field theory techniques, demonstrating that the inclusion of post-adiabatic corrections is crucial. The model is agnostic, i.e., independent of a specific theory of gravity and can therefore be used even for alternative gravity theories.
