Energy Radiation of Charged Particles in Conformally Flat Spacetimes
Original abstract: Consider the worldline of a charged particle in a static spacetime. Contraction of the time-translation Killing field with the retarded electromagnetic energy-momentum tensor gives a conserved electromagnetic energy vector which can be used to define the radiated electromagnetic energy. This note points out that for a conformally flat spacetime, the radiated energy is the sam...
متن کاملInterpreting a conformally flat pure radiation space - time
A physical interpretation is presented of the general class of conformally flat pure radiation metrics that has recently been identified by Edgar and Ludwig. It is shown that, at least in the weak field limit, successive wave surfaces can be represented as null (half) hyperplanes rolled around a two-dimensional null cone. In the impulsive limit, the solution reduces to a pp-wave whose direction...
متن کاملReducing spurious gravitational radiation in binary-black-hole simulations by using conformally curved initial data
At early times in numerical evolutions of binary black holes, current simulations contain an initial burst of spurious gravitational radiation (also called “junk radiation”) which is not astrophysically realistic. The spurious radiation is a consequence of how the binary-black-hole initial data are constructed: the initial data are typically assumed to be conformally flat. In this paper, I adop...
متن کاملKaluza-klein Reduction of Conformally Flat Spaces
A “conformal tensor” is constructed from the metric tensor gMN (or Vielbein e A M ) and is invariant against Weyl rescaling gMN → egMN (or eM → eeM ). Moreover, it vanishes if and only if the space is conformally flat, gMN = e ηMN (or e A M = eδ M ). In dimension four or greater the conformal tensor is the Weyl tensor. In three dimensions the Weyl tensor vanishes identically, while the Cotton t...
متن کاملTwistors in Conformally Flat Einstein Four-manifolds
Abstract. This paper studies the two-component spinor form of massive spin2 potentials in conformally flat Einstein four-manifolds. Following earlier work in the literature, a nonvanishing cosmological constant makes it necessary to introduce a supercovariant derivative operator. The analysis of supergauge transformations of primary and secondary potentials for spin 3 2 shows that the gauge fre...
