v 2 1 1 A pr 2 00 3 RELATIVISTIC TOP DEVIATION EQUATION AND GRAVITATIONAL WAVES
نویسنده
چکیده
By using the relativistic top theory, we derive a relativistic top deviation equation. This equation turns out to be a generalization of the geodesic deviation equation for a pair of nearby point particles. In fact, we show that when the spin angular momentum tensor associated to the top vanishes, such a relativistic top deviation equation reduces to the geodesic deviation equation for spinless point particles. Just as the geodesic deviation equation for spinless particles can be used to investigate the detection of gravitational waves, our generalized formula for a relativistic top can be used to study the gravitational wave background. Our formulation may be of special interest to detect the inflationary gravitational waves via the polarization of the cosmic background radiation. Pacs numbers: 04.60.-m, 04.65.+e, 11.15.-q, 11.30.Ly

Near comoving wavenumber k, the gravitational-wave background (GWB) from inflation carries information about the physical conditions near two moments in cosmic history: the moment when k “left the horizon” during inflation, and the moment when it “re-entered the horizon” after inflation. We investigate the extent to which this information can be extracted if the GWB is measured by a combination...

The gravity water wave black (GWBH) hole analog discovered by Schutzhold and Unruh (SU) is extended to allow for the presence of turbulent shear flow. The Riemannian geometry of turbulent black holes (BH) analogs in water waves is computed in the case of lami-nar tirbulent shear flow. The Riemann curvature is constant and the geodesic deviation equation shows that the curvature acts locally as ...

We study characteristics of the relativistic equation of state (EOS) for collapse-driven supernovae, which is derived by relativistic nuclear many body theory. Recently the relativistic EOS table has become available as a new complete set of physical EOS for numerical simulations of supernova explosion. We examine this EOS table by using general relativistic hydrodynamics of the gravitational c...

Fully relativistic and causal equations for the flow of charge in curved spacetime are derived. It is believed that this is the first set of equations to be published that correctly describes the flow of charge, and evolution of the electromagnetic field, in highly dynamical relativistic environments on time scales much shorter than the collapse time (GM/c 3). The equations, therefore, will be ...
