等效介质框架下Schwarzschild度规的光学各向异性

Optical Anisotropy of Schwarzschild Metric within Equivalent Medium Framework

Sina Khorasani, Bizhan Rashidian

摘要:

人们早就知道,在引力存在下,弯曲空间可以被描述为具有不同本构方程的平坦几何形状的非均匀各向异性介质。在这篇文章中,我们表明,这样的介质的本征偏振可以精确地解决,导致一个伪各向同性的描述弯曲的真空与两个折射率本征值具有相反的符号,这对应于向前和向后旅行的时间。我们的结论是,对于一个旋转的宇宙,时间反演对称性被打破。我们还证明了这种方法的适用性Schwarzschild度规和推导出精确的形式的折射率。我们导出了球对称、非旋转和不带电黑洞周围空间的微妙光学各向异性的一个优雅的封闭形式的表达式,并表明在这样的伪各向同性系统中的折射率将是坐标的函数以及传播方向。这种各向异性所产生的光的弯曲的校正示出和简化的方程组中的等效介质中的史瓦西度规的光线追迹被发现。

英文摘要:

It is has been long known that the curved space in the presence of gravitation can be described as a non-homogeneous anisotropic medium in flat geometry with different constitutive equations. In this article, we show that the eigenpolarizations of such medium can be exactly solved, leading to a pseudo-isotropic description of curved vacuum with two refractive index eigenvalues having opposite signs, which correspond to forward and backward travel in time. We conclude that for a rotating universe, time-reversal symmetry is broken. We also demonstrate the applicability of this method to Schwarzschild metric and derive exact forms of refractive index. We derive the subtle optical anisotropy of space around a spherically symmetric, non-rotating and uncharged blackhole in the form of an elegant closed form expression, and show that the refractive index in such a pseudo-isotropic system would be a function of coordinates as well as the direction of propagation. Corrections arising from such anisotropy in the bending of light are shown and a simplified system of equations for ray-tracing in the equivalent medium of Schwarzschild metric is found.
