Gravitational Lensing in Inhomogeneous Universes
I describe a new approach (developed in collaboration with D.E. Holz) to calculating the statistical distributions for magnification, shear, and rotation of images of cosmological sources due to gravitational lensing by mass inhomogeneities on galactic and smaller scales. Our approach is somewhat similar to that used in “Swiss cheese” models, but the “cheese” has been completely eliminated, the...
متن کاملA New Method for Determining Cumulative Gravitational Lensing Effects in Inhomogeneous Universes
We present a new approach to calculating the statistical distributions for magnification, shear, and rotation of images of cosmological sources due to gravitational lensing. In this approach one specifies an underlying Robertson-Walker cosmological model together with relevant information on the clumping of matter on scales much smaller than the Hubble radius. The geodesic deviation equation is...
متن کاملChaotic Dynamics of a Spatio-Inhomogeneous Medium
In the present paper we show that inhomogeneity of a continuous self-sustained oscillating medium can be a reason for the onset of chaotic behavior. It has been established that temporal chaotic dynamics typically arises in the medium with a linear mismatch of the natural frequency along a spatial coordinate, whereas a chaotic regime is not characteristic for the medium with randomly distribute...
متن کاملSusceptibility in Inhomogeneous Random Graphs
We study the susceptibility, i.e., the mean size of the component containing a random vertex, in a general model of inhomogeneous random graphs. This is one of the fundamental quantities associated to (percolation) phase transitions; in practice one of its main uses is that it often gives a way of determining the critical point by solving certain linear equations. Here we relate the susceptibil...
متن کاملVarious Approaches to Cosmological Gravitational Lensing in Inhomogeneous Models
Gravitational lensing of distant objects caused by gravitational tidal forces from inhomogeneities in the universe is weak in most cases, but it is noticed that it gives a great deal of information about the universe, especially regarding the distribution of dark matter. The statistical values of optical quantities such as convergence, amplification and shear have been derived by many people us...
