Derivation of the Raychaudhuri Equation
As a homage to A K Raychaudhuri, I derive in a straightforward way his famous equation and also indicate the problems he was last engaged in. PACS numbers: 04.20.Jb, 04.2.Cv, 98.80 Dr Let us consider a collection of bodies falling freely under their own gravity. They would all attract each other and would tend to converge. If they are expanding or contracting and their gravitational potential e...
متن کاملSingularity: Raychaudhuri Equation once again
I first recount Raychaudhuri’s deep involvement with the singularity problem in general relativity. I then argue that precisely the same situation has arisen today in loop quantum cosmology as obtained when Raychaudhuri discovered his celebrated equation. We thus need a new analogue of the Raychaudhuri equation in quantum gravity. PACS numbers: 04.20.Jb, 04.2.Cv, 98.80 Dr 1 Singularity and AKR ...
متن کاملGravitational Faraday rotation in a weak gravitational field
Abstract We examine the rotation of the plane of polarization for linearly polarized light rays by the weak gravitational field of an isolated physical system. Based on the rotation of inertial frames, we review the general integral expression for the net rotation. We apply this formula, analogue to the usual electromagnetic Faraday effect, to some interesting astrophysical systems: uniformly s...
متن کاملWeak Gravitational Lensing around Field Galaxies in HST Survey Images
Using data from the HST Medium Deep Survey, a long-term Key Project, together with generically similar archived data, we have discovered evidence for weak gravitational ‘shear’ of background field galaxies (I = 22 – 26) in the vicinity of isolated, foreground galaxies ( I = 15 – 22), especially those of early type. The statistical lensing is demonstrated by the slight preferential orientation o...
متن کاملPush on a Casimir Apparatus in a Weak Gravitational Field
The influence of the gravity acceleration on the regularized energy-momentum tensor of the quantized electromagnetic field between two plane parallel conducting plates is derived. We use Fermi coordinates and work to first order in the constant acceleration parameter. A new simple formula for the trace anomaly is found to first order in the constant acceleration, and a more systematic derivatio...
