The Nonlinear Essence of Gravitational Waves
نویسنده
چکیده
A critical review of gravitational wave theory is made. It is pointed out that the usual linear approach to the gravitational wave theory is neither conceptually consistent nor mathematically justified. Relying upon that analysis it is then argued that — analogously to a Yang-Mills propagating field, which must be nonlinear to carry its gauge charge — a gravitational wave must necessarily be nonlinear to transport its own charge — that is, energymomentum.

Gravitational waves are considered in thermal vacuum state. The amplitude and spectral energy density of gravitational waves are found enhanced in thermal vacuum state compared to its zero temperature counterpart. Therefore, the allowed amount of enhancement depends on the upper bound of WMAP-5 and WMAP-7 for the amplitude and spectral energy density of gravitational waves. The enhancement of ...
متن کاملA Decision between Bayesian and Frequentist Upper Limit in Analyzing Continuous Gravitational Waves
Given the sensitivity of current ground-based Gravitational Wave (GW) detectors, any continuous-wave signal we can realistically expect will be at a level or below the background noise. Hence, any data analysis of detector data will need to rely on statistical techniques to separate the signal from the noise. While with the current sensitivity of our detectors we do not expect to detect any tru...
متن کاملA new method based on fuzzy system and gravitational optimal detector for capacitor placement, considering nonlinear loads
This paper describes an advantageous method for using the capacitor banks in the distribution network, optimally. The aim is to determine the count, location and capacitor values in order to minimize the annual cost resulting from energy losses and capacitor bank’s installation cost. Besides, in the case of having nonlinear loads in the network, by installing capacitors in appropriate locations...
متن کاملNonlinear Gravitational Waves: Their Form and Effects
Similarly to a Yang–Mills propagating field, which must be nonlinear if it is to transport its own charge, only a nonlinear gravitational wave is able to transport energy and momentum. The second order solution describing such physical waves is obtained. The effects they produce on free particles consist of nonlinear oscillations along the direction of propagation. This is the signature a detec...
متن کاملGeneration of Gravitational Radiation in Dusty Plasmas and Supernovae
We present a novel nonlinear mechanism for exciting a gravitational radiation pulse (or a gravitational wave) by dust magnetohydrodynamic (DMHD) waves in dusty astrophysical plasmas. We derive the relevant equations governing the dynamics of nonlinearly coupled DMHD waves and a gravitational wave (GW). The system of equations is used to investigate the generation of a GW by compressional Alfvén...
