Gravitational Analog of the Electromagnetic Poynting Vector
نویسنده
چکیده
The gravitational analog of the electromagnetic Poynting vector is constructed using the field equations of general relativity in the Hilbert gauge. It is found that when the gravitational Poynting vector is applied to the solution of the linear mass quadrupole oscillator, the correct gravitational quadrupole radiation flux is obtained. Further to this, the Maxwell-like gravitational Poynting vector gives rise to Einstein's quadrupole radiation formula. The gravitational energy-momentum (pseudo) tensor obtained is symmetric and traceless. The former property allows the definition of angular momentum for the free gravitational field.

About Poynting vector in axially symmetric stationary spacetimes
We dispose of some objections raised by Manko et al. [2] on a recently published paper on the role of Poynting vector in the ocurrence of vorticity in electrovaccum spacetimes [1]. In order to confirm the Bonnor’s hyphothesis about the role of the electromagnetic energy flux as the responsible for the vorticity in the surrounding of non–rotating sources of some gravitational fields [3], Herrera...

In this paper, we consider a system including two maghnetodielectric slabs with different temperature that are placed in vacuum at zero temperature and very short separation distances from each other. Based on the canonical quantization of the electromagnetic field in the presence of dissipative media, we investigate the radiative heat transfer arising from thermal and quantum fluctuations in o...

We develop and apply a fully covariant 1 + 3 electromagnetic analogy for gravity. The free gravitational field is covariantly characterized by the Weyl gravito-electric and gravito-magnetic spatial tensor fields, whose dynamical equations are the Bianchi identities. Using a covariant generalization of spatial vector algebra and calculus to spatial tensor fields, we exhibit the covariant analogy...
متن کاملA consideration on error of Poynting vector estimation with near-magnetic-field measurement
Progress of clock frequency of digital equipments causes serious undesired emission from a printedcircuit board(PCB). Since a trial-and-error at later procedure spends cost and time, design criterion for low-emission PCB is desired. To establish the design criterion, it is necessary to understand mechanism of emission. For this purpose, many investigations on near-field measurement for estimati...

1 Problem Poynting [1] identified the flux of energy in the electromagnetic fields {E, B} (in a medium with relative permittivity = 1 and relative permeability μ = 1) with the vector S = c 4π E × B, (1) in Gaussian units, where c is the speed of light in vacuum. Abraham [2] recognized the additional role of the Poynting vector as being proportional to the density of linear momentum stored in th...
