Gravitational Lensing and Optical Geometry: A Centennial Perspective Hardcover – December 8, 2020 by Marcus C Werner (Editor)
Requirements: .PDF reader, 6 MB
Overview: The year 2019 saw the centenary of Eddington’s eclipse expeditions and the corroboration of Einstein’s general relativity by gravitational lensing. To mark the occasion, a Special Issue of Universe has been dedicated to the theoretical aspects of strong gravitational lensing. The articles assembled in this volume contain original research and reviews and apply a variety of mathematical techniques that have been developed to study this effect, both in 3-space and in spacetime. These include: – Mathematical properties of the standard thin lens approximation, in particular caustics; – Optical geometry, the Gauss-Bonnet method and related approaches; – Lensing in the spacetime of general relativity and modified theories; black hole shadows.
