Kundt波时空中的记忆效应

Memory effects in Kundt wave spacetimes

Indranil Chakraborty, Sayan Kar

摘要:

记忆效应在精确的昆特波时空中出现在这样的时空中的测地线的行为。我们在这里考虑的孔特时空类型是$H^2\times M(1,1)$和$S^2\times M(1,1)$形式的直积。这两种几何都具有常数标量曲率。我们考虑一个场景,其中的横向测地坐标的初始速度设置为零(在脉冲的到来之前)在一个时空与非零的背景曲率。我们寻找脉冲引起的测地线对之间的分离的变化。任何观测到的测地线的位置和速度剖面的相对变化,在爆发之后,可以完全归因于波(因此,记忆效应)。对于常负曲率,我们发现在脉冲离开后测地线的间距有永久的变化。在常正标量曲率的情况下(Plebaideski-Hacyan时空),我们发现了沿一个方向的位移和速度记忆。在另一个方向上,观察到一种新的记忆(我们称之为频率记忆效应),一旦脉冲离开,测地线之间的分离就会显示出周期性振荡。我们还进行了类似的分析,时空的非常数标量曲率,这可能是积极的或消极的。这里的结果似乎定性同意那些常数标量曲率,从而表明记忆和曲率的性质之间的联系。

英文摘要:

Memory effects in the exact Kundt wave spacetimes are shown to arise in the behaviour of geodesics in such spacetimes. The types of Kundt spacetimes we consider here are direct products of the form $H^2\times M(1,1)$ and $S^2\times M(1,1)$. Both geometries have constant scalar curvature. We consider a scenario in which initial velocities of the transverse geodesic coordinates are set to zero (before the arrival of the pulse) in a spacetime with non-vanishing background curvature. We look for changes in the separation between pairs of geodesics caused by the pulse. Any relative change observed in the position and velocity profiles of geodesics, after the burst, can be solely attributed to the wave (hence, a memory effect). For constant negative curvature, we find there is permanent change in the separation of geodesics after the pulse has departed. Thus, there is displacement memory, though no velocity memory is found. In the case of constant positive scalar curvature (Plebański-Hacyan spacetimes), we find both displacement and velocity memory along one direction. In the other direction, a new kind of memory (which we term as frequency memory effect) is observed where the separation between the geodesics shows periodic oscillations once the pulse has left. We also carry out similar analyses for spacetimes with a non-constant scalar curvature, which may be positive or negative. The results here seem to qualitatively agree with those for constant scalar curvature, thereby suggesting a link between the nature of memory and curvature.
