我们在相对论介质中发展了引力的有效场论。将介质积掉后，留下带有更新费曼规则的真空引力：由环境应力-能量两点函数修饰的引力子传播子、来自更高关联函数的介质诱导的体引力子顶点，以及编码在匹配的威尔逊系数中的广义世界线耦合。图拓扑与真空中的不变，因此不同的介质（理想流体、无碰撞物质、如波暗物质这样的相干标量场）不是不同的理论，而是插入到相同图中的不同关联函数。我们推导了相对论流体的介质内规则，并获得了完整的1PN爱因斯坦-英费尔德-霍夫曼势、1PN斯托克斯阻力、引力自能和广义克里斯托杜洛记忆，其新的张量结构记录了周围流动的方向，将永久应变变成了一个天体物理风向标。同样的规则激活了真空中被禁止的现象：声学极点将受对称性保护、不跑动的黑洞洛夫数转变为共振的、跑动的洛夫数，并在运动介质中打开h→hh通道，产生闭式衰变率和由局部流动几何设定的双折射引力不透明度。我们评估了观测前景，从爱因斯坦望远镜和LISA可及的失相和潮汐共振，到原理验证的记忆和不透明度特征。
英文摘要
We develop an effective field theory of gravity in relativistic media. Integrating out the medium leaves vacuum gravity with updated Feynman rules: a graviton propagator dressed by the stress-energy two-point function of the environment, medium-induced bulk graviton vertices from higher correlators, and generalized worldline couplings encoded in matched Wilson coefficients. The diagram topologies are unchanged from vacuum, so different media (perfect fluids, collisionless matter, coherent scalar fields such as wave dark matter) are not different theories but different correlators inserted into the same diagrams. We derive the in-medium rules for a relativistic fluid and obtain the full 1PN Einstein-Infeld-Hoffmann potential, the 1PN Stokes drag, the gravitational self-energy and a generalized Christodoulou memory whose new tensor structure records the orientation of the medium's anisotropy, turning the permanent strain into an $\textit{astrophysical weathervane}$. The same rules activate phenomena forbidden in vacuum: the sound pole converts the symmetry-protected, non-running black-hole Love number into a resonant, running one, and graviton splitting $h\to hh$ is open into the longitudinal branch of the dressed propagator, and gives the transverse graviton a width, $Γ=G_Nω^3(1-c_s^2)^2/120c_s^3$, a $\textit{gravitational opacity}$ set by the sound speed. The same vertex makes a graviton suffer dynamical friction. We assess observational prospects, from dephasing and tidal resonances within reach of the Einstein Telescope and LISA to proof-of-principle memory and opacity signatures.
