Spinning particle in an external linearized gravitational wave field
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the interaction of a scalar and a spinning particle with a coherent linearized gravitational wave field treated as a classical spin two external field. The spin degrees of freedom of the spinning particle are described by skew-commuting variables. We derive the explicit expressions for the eigenfunctions and the Green's functions of the theory. The discussion is exact within the approximation of neglecting radiative corrections and we prove that the result is completely determined by the semiclassical contribution.

Gravitational waves interacting with a spinning charged particle in the presence of a uniform magnetic field
The equations which determine the response of a spinning charged particle moving in a uniform magnetic field to an incident gravitational wave are derived in the linearized approximation to general relativity. We verify that 1) the components of the 4-momentum, 4-velocity and the components of the spinning tensor, both electric and magnetic moments, exhibit resonances and 2) the co-existence of...
متن کاملGravitational waves from a spinning particle in circular orbits around a rotating black hole.
Using the Teukolsky and Sasaki-Nakamura formalisms for the perterbations around a Kerr black hole, we calculate the energy flux of gravitational waves induced by a spinning particle of mass μ and spin S moving in circular orbits near the equatorial plain of a rotating black hole of mass M( μ) and spin Ma. The calculations are performed by using the recently developed post-Newtonian expansion te...
متن کاملAcceleration and Cyclotron Radiation, Induced by Gravitational Waves
The equations which determine the response of a charged particle moving in a magnetic field to an incident gravitational wave(GW) are derived in the linearized approximation to general relativity. We briefly discuss several astrophysical applications of the derived formulae taking into account the resonance between the wave and the particle’s motion which occurs at ωg = 2Ω, whenever the GW is p...
متن کاملGravitational phase operator and cosmic strings.
A quantum equivalence principle is formulated by means of a gravitational phase operator which is an element of the Poincare group. This is applied to the spinning cosmic string which suggests that it may contain gravitational torsion. A new exact solution of the EinsteinCartan-Sciama-Kibble equations for the gravitational field with torsion is obtained everywhere for a cosmic string with unifo...
متن کاملSelf-interacting gas in a gravitational wave field
We investigate a relativistic self-interacting gas in the field of an external pp gravitational wave. Based on symmetry considerations we ask for those forces which are able to compensate the imprint of the gravitational wave on the macroscopic 4-acceleration of the gaseous fluid. We establish an exactly solvable toy model according to which the stationary states which characterize such a situa...
