Geodesics around gravitational dislocations
نویسنده
چکیده
A technique for generating spherically symmetric dislocation solutions of a direct Poincaré gauge theory of gravity based on homogeneous functions which makes Cartan torsion to vanish is presented.Static space supported dislocation and time dependent solutions are supplied.Photons move along geodesics in analogy to geodesics described by electrons around dislocations in solid state physics.Tachyonic sectors are also found.

Geodesics on non-Riemannian Geometric theory of Planar Defects
The method of Hamilton-Jacobi is used to obtain geodesics around nonRiemannian planar torsional defects.It is shown that by perturbation expansion in the Cartan torsion the geodesics obtained are parabolic curves along the plane x-z when the wall is located at the plane x-y.In the absence of defects the geodesics reduce to straight lines.The family of parabolas depend on the torsion parameter a...
متن کاملGeodesics in a Quasi–spherical Spacetime: a Case of Gravitational Repulsion
Geodesics are studied in one of the Weyl metrics, referred to as the M–Q solution. First, arguments are provided, supporting our belief that this space–time is the more suitable (among the known solutions of the Weyl family) for discussing the properties of strong quasi–spherical gravitational fields. Then, the behaviour of geodesics is compared with the spherically symmetric situation, bringin...

We study geodesic motion in expanding spherical impulsive gravitational waves propagating in a Minkowski background. Employing the continuous form of the metric we find and examine a large family of geometrically preferred geodesics. For the special class of axially symmetric spacetimes with the spherical impulse generated by a snapping cosmic string we give a detailed physical interpretation o...
متن کاملRay-tracing and Interferometry in Schwarzschild Geometry
Here, we investigate the possible optical anisotropy of vacuum due to gravitational field. In doing this, we provide sufficient evidence from direct coordinate integration of the null-geodesic equations obtained from the Lagrangian method, as well as ray-tracing equations obtained from the Plebanski’s equivalent medium theory. All calculations are done for the Schwarzschild geometry, which resu...
متن کاملNo birefringence in Einstein’s gravity
Einstein’s theory predicts that, massive test particles with nonzero spin or angular momentum, in an external gravitation field, follow geodesics which depend upon the orientation of the spin-angular momentum [1]. It has been claimed [2] that such an effect also holds for photons i.e. photons with different helicities follow different geodesics in the gravitational field of a rotating body. If ...
