Test of a model coupling of electromagnetic and gravitational fields by using high-frequency gravitational waves

Models of the coupling of electromagnetic and gravitational fields have been studied extensively for many years. In this paper,we consider the coupling between the Maxwell field and the Weyl tensor of the gravitational field to study how the wavevector of the electromagnetic wave is affected by a plane gravitational wave. We find that the wavevector depends upon the frequency and direction of polarization of the electromagnetic waves, the parameter that couples the Maxwell field and the Weyl tensor, and the angle between the direction of propagation of the electromagnetic wave and the coordinate axis. The results show that this coupling model can be tested by the detection of high-frequency gravitational waves.     

The Electromagnetic Analogue of Some Gravitational Perturbations in Cosmology

Recently attention has been drawn to the fact that perfect fluid tensor perturbations (with perturbed vorticity and acceleration vanishing) of isotropic cosmological models have a perturbed Weyl tensor with electric part satisfying a linear, homogeneous, third-order wave equation while the magnetic part satisfies a linear, homogeneous, second-order wave equation. We construct an analogous class of electromagnetic test fields in the isotropic cosmological models for which the electric vector satisfies a third-order, linear and homogeneous wave equation while the magnetic vector satisfies a second-order, linear and homogeneous wave equation. If the perfect fluid has an equation of state we give a simplified derivation of the authors' previous perturbation analysis describing gravitational waves carrying arbitrary information. We also present the analogous solutions of Maxwell's equations which contain electromagnetic waves conveying arbitrary information.     

Field theoretic treatment of gravitational interaction in electrodynamics

A theory of gravitational interaction in classical electrodynamics is developed on the basis of an earlier-proposed minimal relativistic model of gravitation. From the variation principle, a system of gaugeinvariant equations of the interacting electromagnetic and gravitational fields is deduced and their common energy-momentum tensor is constructed. A rigorous solution to the problem of regularizing the field mass of a point charge is given with consideration for the coupling energy of the gravitational interaction. The propagation of electromagnetic waves in the gravitational field is discussed. It is shown that, under the condition of the existing resonant ratio 2: 3 for the periods of Mercury’s orbital revolution and daily rotation, tidal forces cause a regular shift in the planet’s perihelion in an observable forward direction.     

Energy localization in general relativity: A new hypothesis

A new hypothesis for energy localization in general relativity is introduced which is based upon the fact that the energy-momentum conservation laws are devoid of content in vacuum. The vanishing of pseudotensor components forms the basis of coordinate conditions consistent with the above. The implication is that energy is localized where the energy-momentum tensor is nonvanishing. As a consequence, gravitational waves are not carriers of energy in vacuum. A detailed analysis of a Feynman detector interacting with a plane gravitational wave is consistent with the hypothesis. The fact that there has never been a confirmed direct energy transfer to a detector via gravitational radiation is also consistent with the hypothesis.     

Transverse Wave Propagation in Relativistic Two-Fluid Plasmas around Schwarzschild-de Sitter Black Hole

We investigate transverse electromagnetic waves propagating in a plasma influenced by the gravitational field of the Schwarzschild-de Sitter black hole. Applying 3+1 spacetime split we derive the relativistic two-fluid equations to take account of gravitational effects due to the event horizon and describe the set of simultaneous linear equations for the perturbations. We use a local approximation to investigate the one-dimensional radial propagation of Alfvén and high frequency electromagnetic waves. We derive the dispersion relation for these waves and solve it for the wave number k numerically.     

Propagation of transverse electromagnetic waves with gravitational perturbations in an isotropic universe

The combined behavior of gravitational and electromagnetic perturbations in the radiation-dominated plasma of an isotropic universe is considered. It is shown that transverse electromagnetic waves and vector and tensor gravitational perturbations are independent of one another. The propagation of transverse electromagnetic waves during the lepton and radiation-dominated phases is determined. It is shown that the gravitational perturbations help to excite longitudinal electromagnetic fields in the radiation-dominated plasma.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 12, pp. 49–54, December, 1985.     

Transverse Wave Propagation in Relativistic Two-Fluid Plasmas around Reissner–Nordström Black Hole

We investigate transverse electromagnetic waves propagating in a plasma influenced by the gravitational field of the Reissner–Nordström black hole. Applying 3+1 spacetime split we reformulate the relativistic two-fluid equations to take account of gravitational effects due to the event horizon and describe the set of simultaneous linear equations for the perturbations. Using a local approximation we investigate the one-dimensional radial propagation of Alfvén and high frequency electromagnetic waves. We derive the dispersion relation for these waves and solve it for the wave number k numerically.     

Hawking radiation from Kerr--Newman--Kasuya black hole via quantum anomalies

We have studied the Hawking radiation of the Kerr-Newman-Kasuya black hole via gauge and gravitational anomaly in the dragging coordinates. The fluxes of the electromagnetic current and the energy momentum tensor for each partial wave in two-dimensional field are obtained.     

A GROUP OF EXACT (3+1) DIMENSIONAL CYLINDRICALLY SYMMETRIC WAVE SOLUTIONS TO THE EINSTEIN GRAVITATIONAL FIELD EQUATION

Starting with the diagonal spacetime metric tensor, the Einstein gravitational field equation is solved, and a set of exact (3+1) dimensional cylindrically symmetric wave solutions with two arbitrary functions are found. In these solutions all nonvanishing components of spacetime metric tensor are varying with the same propagating factor (ct-z) while the waves are travelling along z axis. The physical picture and the condition of positive energy density of the wave solutions are discussed.     

Pauli equation for a particle in metric and electromagnetic fields

A Pauli theory (Pauli equation and definition of probability current and density) for a particle in weak metric and arbitrary electromagnetic fields is treated. To formulate non-relativistic quantum mechanical problems in arbitrary electromagnetic fields and weak metrics (non-inertial systems, gravitational fields which are distant fields of arbitrary distribution of masses, gravitational waves) it is not necessary to make use of the general-relativistic Dirac equation. Close analogies to the known Pauli theory with electromagnetic fields exist. For different metric fields the corresponding Hamiltonians are given. For quantum systems (H-atoms) which are disturbed by a homogeneous gravitational field and a gravitational wave the resulting shift of energy levels and the transition probability is calculated.     

Transverse wave propagation in relativistic two-fluid plasmas around Reissner–Nordström–de Sitter black hole

The transverse electromagnetic waves propagating in a relativistic two-fluid plasma influenced by the gravitational field of the Reissner–Nordström–de Sitter black hole has been investigated exploiting “3 + 1” split of spacetime. Reformulating the two-fluid equations, the set of simultaneous linear equations for the perturbations have been derived. Using a local approximation, the one-dimensional radial propagation of Alfvén and high frequency electromagnetic waves are investigated. The dispersion relation for these waves is obtained and solved numerically for the wave number.     

New Effect for Detecting Gravitational Waves by Amplification with Electromagnetic Radiation

The perturbation of Dirac particles moving in a constant magnetic field is calculated for simultaneously incident parallel monochromatic circular polarized electromagnetic and gravitational waves. Resonances are found which depend on the initial energy of the charged particles, the magnetic field, and the frequencies of the incident waves. A suited choice of these parameters allows the selection of only one resonance that is proportional to the product of the squares of the amplitudes of both waves. This effect is valid for all bound systems of Dirac particles interacting simultaneously with electromagnetic and gravitational waves. At least in principle this resonance effect can be used to detect the gravitational waves in the lab. For regions of the universe with strong electromagnetic and gravitational waves and suited magnetic fields this effect may play another important part for the acceleration of charged particles.     

Does gravitational radiation exist?

An attempt is made to extend the Wheeler and Feynman absorber theory of electromagnetic radiation to the case of the gravitational field (described by the Einstein linear weak-field equations) on the assumption that the source is at the center of a sphere of matter having a density equal to the average density in the universe and a radius equal to the reciprocal of the Hubble constant. It is found that near the source the field of the matter is negligible compared to that of the source, so that one can conclude that the gravitational field generated by the source is time-symmetric (one-half advanced plus one-half retarded). One can conclude that a physical system does not lose energy as gravitational radiation, although a gravitational wave detector may record signals. It appears that there are no periodic running waves in nature, and hence no gravitons. These considerations hold also in the bimetric gravitation theory.

Nonlinear Gravitational Waves: Their Form and Effects

A gravitational wave must be nonlinear to be able to transport its own source, that is, energy and momentum. A physical gravitational wave, therefore, cannot be represented by a solution to a linear wave equation. Relying on this property, the second-order solution describing such physical waves is obtained. The effects they produce on free particles are found to consist of nonlinear oscillations along the direction of propagation.     

On the energy flux of stationary electromagnetic waves in anisotropic dissipative media with spatial dispersion

The special features of the propagation of electromagnetic wave in gyrotropic medium with dispersion and resonant dissipation (specifically, in a magnetoactive plasma) are studied. Even though the anti-Hermitian components of the permittivity tensor are substantial in magnitude, weakly damped waves can exist in such media. However, the well-known phenomenological expression for the energy flux of waves in a medium with spatial dispersion is inapplicable for them. A theory extending this expression to the case studied is developed. The modified expression for the energy flux is used to construct the Hamiltonian for the ray optics of such media.     

Gravitational waves and massive tensor particles in thef-g theory of gravity

Starting from the generally covariant version of the Pauli-Fierz mass term, it is stressed that the tensor fields representing spin-2 particles, eigenstates of strong and gravitational interactions, are linear combinations of one massive and one massless state. This implies that any hadronic reaction, in which massive tensor particles are produced, can be regarded, at least in principle, also as an effective source of gravitons which may become very important in the early stages of the universe; conversely, any process in which gravitational radiation of sufficiently high energy is emitted, should be a source of strongly interacting tensor particles which decay into photons and neutrinos. These two effects could be used for producing and detecting gravitational waves.This essay was awarded an honorable mention (1985) by the Gravity Research Foundation—Ed.     

On the Rainich geometrization of scalar meson fields

Similarly as in the Rainich geometrization of an electromagnetic field, the author finds a system of differential equations for the metric tensor, equivalent to the equations of the gravitational and scalar meson field, and shows how to find the wave function of the meson field if the Ricci tensor is known.     

Micromorphic Electromagnetic Theory and Waves

This paper introduces a continuum microelectromagnetic theory (also called micromorphic electromagnetic theory), to discuss electromagnetic phenomena in bodies with microstructures. Balance laws of microelectromagnetic media of the first-grade are given. Constitutive equations are developed. The field equations are obtained . It has been shown that, this theory gives rise to several new vector and tensor waves. A theorem of conservation of energy (Poynting type) is proved. Dispersion relations are obtained for both vector and tensor waves. Relations of tensor waves to microscopic phenomena (such as spin waves) are discussed.     

A special form of electrodynamical response to a gravitational wave：outgoing and imploding photon fluxes

We have investigated the interaction of an electromagnetic (EM) wave with a standing gravitational wave (GW) in an external static magnetic field,and obtained concrete forms of first-order perturbative EM energy fluxes.Unlike the propagating properties of the “left-circular” and “right-circular” waves of the tangential perturbative energy fluxes around the symmetrical axis,the radial perturbative energy fluxes are expressed as the outgoing and imploding waves to the symmetrical axis.We also examine several physical examples and show that this effect can produce very small but nonvanishing radial perturbative photon fluxes.This may be useful for EM detection of the high-frequency relic GWs of the GHz region in quintessential inflationary models.
