Lecture VIII: Linearized gravity

چکیده

We are now ready to consider the solutions of GR for the case of weak gravitational fields. This encompasses Newtonian gravity, as well as a few extensions thereof. In addition to its importance in e.g. the solar system, our study of linearized gravity will prepare us for the discussion of some of the weak-field experimental tests of GR (Lecture XI). It will also illustrate some of the issues that arise in solving the field equations. The recommended reading for this lecture is:

The anyonic behaviour of massive spinning point particles coupled to linearized massive vector Chern-Simons gravity is studied. This model constitutes the uniform spin-2 generalization of the vector model formed by coupling charged point particles to the topological massive Maxwell-CS action. It turns out that, for this model, the linearized first order triadic Chern-Simons term is the source o...

Linearized Gravity as a Gauge Theory

We discuss linearized gravity from the point of view of a gauge theory. In (3+1)dimensions our analysis allows to consider linearized gravity in the context of the MacDowell-Mansouri formalism. Our observations may be of particular interest in the strong-weak coupling duality for linearized gravity, in Randall-Sundrum brane world scenario and in Ashtekar formalism.

S-duality for Linearized Gravity

We develope the analogue of S-duality for linearized gravity in (3+1)-dimensions. Our basic idea is to consider the self-dual (anti-self-dual) curvature tensor for linearized gravity in the context of the Macdowell-Mansouri formalism. We find that the strong-weak coupling duality for linearized gravity is an exact symmetry and implies small-large duality for the cosmological constant. Pacs numb...

Some solutions of linearized 5-d gravity with brane

We consider linearized 5-d gravity in the Randall-Sundrum brane world. The class of static solutions for linearized Einstein equations is found. Also we obtaine wave solutions describing radiation from an imaginary point source located at the Planck distance from the brane. We analyze the fields asymptotic behavior and peculiarities of matter sources.
