具有平面引力波的时空的费米法线坐标、光学坐标和波同步坐标

Fermi-normal, optical, and wave-synchronous coordinates for spacetime with a plane gravitational wave

Malik Rakhmanov

摘要:

费米法向坐标提供了一种从惯性观测者的角度描述引力效应的标准化方法。这些坐标一直是通过微扰展开引入的,并且通常被限制在远小于时空曲率所设定的特征长度尺度的距离。对于平面引力波,这个尺度由它的波长给出,波长定义了这些坐标的有效域,称为长波域。然而,这种时空的对称性使我们能够将费米法向坐标扩展到远超过长波长区域。在这里,我们提出了一个明确的建设,这种远程费米正常坐标系的基础上的唯一解决方案的边值问题的类空测地线。由此产生的公式金额的费米正常坐标的无穷级数的总和以前获得的微扰展开。我们还考虑了两个密切相关的正常坐标系:光学坐标,这是建立从零测地线和波同步坐标,这是建立从类空测地线与传播的引力波锁定相位。波同步坐标产生Peres和Ehlers-Kundt的精确解,它是全局定义的。在这种情况下,长波长范围的限制被完全克服,并且波同步坐标系对于任意大的距离变得有效。通过考虑惯性测试质量在平面引力波场中的运动,对不同坐标系进行了比较。

英文摘要:

Fermi normal coordinates provide a standardized way to describe the effects of gravitation from the point of view of an inertial observer. These coordinates have always been introduced via perturbation expansions and were usually limited to distances much less than the characteristic length scale set by the curvature of spacetime. For a plane gravitational wave this scale is given by its wavelength which defines the domain of validity for these coordinates known as the long-wavelength regime. The symmetry of this spacetime, however, allows us to extend Fermi normal coordinates far beyond the long-wavelength regime. Here we present an explicit construction for this long-range Fermi normal coordinate system based on the unique solution of the boundary-value problem for spacelike geodesics. The resulting formulae amount to summation of the infinite series for Fermi normal coordinates previously obtained with perturbation expansions. We also consider two closely related normal coordinate systems: optical coordinates which are built from null geodesics and wave-synchronous coordinates which are built from spacelike geodesics locked in phase with the propagating gravitational wave. The wave-synchronous coordinates yield the exact solution of Peres and Ehlers-Kundt which is globally defined. In this case, the limitation of the long-wavelength regime is completely overcome, and the system of wave-synchronous coordinates becomes valid for arbitrarily large distances. Comparison of the different coordinate systems is done by considering the motion of an inertial test mass in the field of a plane gravitational wave.
