Roto-translational Effects on Deflection of Light and Particle by Moving Kerr Black Hole

Velocity effects in first-order Schwarzschild deflection of light and particles have been explored in the previous literature. In this paper, we investigate the roto-translational-motion induced deflection by one moving Kerr black hole with an arbitrary but constant speed. It is shown that the coupling between the effects of the rotation and the translational motion always exists for both light and particles. The contribution of the roto-translational deflection to the total bending angle is discussed in detail. This ratio takes upper limit for light and it decreases monotonically with increasing translational velocity for a massive particle. For a given translational velocity of black hole, this ratio increases with the particle' velocity. In addition, the Post-Newtonian dynamics of the photon and particle is also presented.

Second-order time delay by a radially moving Kerr-Newman black hole

We derive the analytical time delay of light propagating in the equatorial plane and parallel to the velocity of a moving Kerr-Newman black hole up to the second post-Minkowskian order via integrating the null geodesic equations. The velocity effects are expressed by a very compact form. We then concentrate on analyzing the magnitudes of the correctional effects on the second-order contributions to the delay and discuss their possible detection. Our result in the first post-Minkowskian approximation is in agreement with Kopeikin and Schäfer's formulation which is based on the retarded Liénard-Wiechert potential.

Second Order Kerr-Newman Time Delay

The explicit form for the post-Newtonian gravitational time delay of light signals propagating on the equatorial plane of a Kerr-Newman black hole is derived. Based on the null geodesic in Kerr-Newman spacetime, we adopt the iterative method to calculate the time delay. Our result reduces to the previous formulation for Kerr black hole if we drop off the contribution from the electrical charge. Our time-delay formula for the Reissner-Nordström geometry is different from the previous publication [Phys. Rev. D 69, 023002 (2004)], in which the largest second-order contribution to the time delay is missing.

Analytical Derivation of Second-Order Deflection in Equatorial Plane of a Radially Moving Kerr-Newman Black Hole

In this work, we base on the second-order post-Minkowskian equations of motion, and apply an iterative technique to analytically derive the gravitational deflection of the relativistic particles in the equatorial plane of Kerr-Newman black hole with a radial (or longitudinal) and constant velocity. We find that the kinematically correctional effects on the second-order contributions to the deflection can be expressed into a very compact form, which are valid for both the massive particle and photon. Our result reduces to the previous formulation for the first-order deflection caused by a moving Schwarzschild black hole when the second-order contributions are dropped.

Gravitational Deflection of Light and Massive Particle by a Moving Kerr-Newman Black Hole

The gravitational deflection of test particles including light, due to a radially moving Kerr-Newman black hole with an arbitrary constant velocity being perpendicular to its angular momentum, is investigated. In harmonic coordinates, we derive the second post-Minkowskian equations of motion for test particles, and solve them by high-accuracy numerical calculations. We then concentrate on discussing the kinematical corrections caused by the motion of the gravitational source to the second-order deflection. The analytical formula of light deflection angle up to second order by the moving lens is obtained. For a massive particle moving with a relativistic velocity, there are two different analytical results for Schwarzschild deflection angle up to second order reported in the previous works, i.e., $α(w)=2\left(1+\frac{1}{w^2}\right)\frac{M}{b}+3π\left(\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{w^2}\right)\frac{M^2}{b^2}$ and $α(w)=2\left(1+\frac{1}{w^2}\right)\frac{M}{b}+\left[3π\left(\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{w^2}\right)+2\left(1-\frac{1}{w^4}\right)\right]\frac{M^2}{b^2}$, where $M,$ $b,$ and $w$ are the mass of the lens, impact parameter, and the particle's initial velocity, respectively. Our numerical result is in perfect agreement with the former. Furthermore, the analytical formula for massive particle deflection up to second order in the Kerr geometry is achieved. Finally, the possibilities of detecting the motion effects on the second-order deflection are also analyzed.

Gravitational frequency shift of light in equatorial plane of a radially moving Schwarzschild black hole

The kinematical effect induced by the transversal motion of a gravitational lens on the frequency shift of light has been investigated in detail, while the effect of the radial motion is thought to be much smaller than the transversal one and thus has usually been neglected. In this work, we find that the radial velocity effect on the frequency shift has the same order of magnitude as that of the transversal velocity effect, when the light emitter (or the receiver) is close to the gravitational lens with the distance between them being an impact parameter scale. The significant velocity effect is usually transient due to the motion of the gravitational lens relative to the light emitter or the receiver.

Post-Keplerian motion in Reissner-Nordström spacetime

We present the analytical post-Newtonian solutions for the test particle's motion in the Reissner-Nordström spacetime. The solutions are formulated in the Wagoner-Will representation, the Epstein-Haugan representation, the Brumberg representation, and the Damour-Deruelle representation, respectively. The relations between the (post-)Keplerian parameters in different representations, as well as their relations to the orbital energy and angular momentum are also provided.

Post-Minkowskian solution for the small-deflection motion of test particles in Kerr-Newman spacetime

We derive the second-order post-Minkowskian solution for the small-deflection motion of test particles in the external field of the Kerr-Newman black hole via an iterative method. The analytical results are exhibited in the coordinate system constituted by the particles' initial velocity unit vector, impact vector, and their cross-product. The achieved formulas explicitly give the dependences of the particles' trajectory and velocity on the time once their initial position and velocity are specified, and can be applied not only to a massive particle, but also to a photon as well.

The weak-field-limit solution for Kerr black hole in radiation gauge

In this work we present the solution for a rotating Kerr black hole in the weak-field limit under the radiation gauge proposed by Chen and Zhu [Phys. Rev. D83, 061501(R) (2011)], with which the two physical components of the gravitational wave can be picked out exactly.

Post-Newtonian light propagation in Kerr-Newman spacetime

The second-order post-Newtonian solution for the light propagation in the field of Kerr-Newman black hole is achieved via an iterative method. Based on this result, we further obtain the second-order post-Newtonian light deflection in Kerr-Newman spacetime, which is formulated in an united form for any arbitrarily incident directions. All results are exhibited in the coordinate system constituted by the initial light-direction vector, the impact vector, and their cross-product.

Post-Newtonian dynamics basing on Mathisson-Papapetrou equations with Corinaldesi-Papapetrou condition in Kerr spacetime

We derive the post-Newtonian dynamics for a spinning body with Corinaldesi-Papapetrou spin supplementary condition in Kerr spacetime. Both the equations of motion for the center-of-mass of body and the spin evolution are obtained. For the non-relativistic case, our calculations show that the magnitude of spin measured in the rest frame of the body's center-of-mass does not change with time, though the center-of-mass does not move along the geodesic. Moreover, we find that the effects of the spin-orbit and spin-spin couplings will be suppressed by the Lorentz factor when the body has a relativistic velocity.

The collapse distance of femtosecond pulses in air

The conventional semi-empirical formula for collapse distance [Phys. Rev. 179, 862 (1969), Prog. Quant. Electr. 4, 35 (1975)] has been widely used in many applications. However, it is not applicable when the dispersion length is smaller than or has similar order-of-magnitude as the collapse distance. For the "enough short" pulses, there exists a threshold for the initial peak power, with which the collapse distance has a maximum value due to the competition between the Kerr self-focusing and the group velocity dispersion. New semi-empirical formulas are obtained for the collapse distance of the pulse with the initial power being less or larger than the threshold, and they can match the numerical simulations gracefully.

Parallel simulation for the ultra-short laser pulses' propagation in air

A parallel 2D+1 split-step Fourier method with Crank-Nicholson scheme running on multi-core shared memory architectures is developed to study the propagation of ultra-short high-intensity laser pulses in air. The parallel method achieves a near linear speed-up with results for the efficiency of more than 95% on a 24-core machine. This method is of great potential application in studying the long-distance propagation of the ultra-short high intensity laser pulses.

Termination of the Phase of Quintessence by Gravitational Back-Reaction

We study the effects of gravitational back-reaction in models of Quintessence. The effective energy-momentum tensor with which cosmological fluctuations back-react on the background metric will in some cases lead to a termination of the phase of acceleration. The fluctuations we make use of are the perturbations in our present Universe. Their amplitude is normalized by recent measurements of anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background, their slope is taken to be either scale-invariant, or characterized by a slightly blue tilt. In the latter case, we find that the back-reaction effect of fluctuations whose present wavelength is smaller than the Hubble radius but which are stretched beyond the Hubble radius by the accelerated expansion during the era of Quintessence domination can become large. Since the back-reaction effects of these modes oppose the acceleration, back-reaction will lead to a truncation of the period of Quintessence domination. This result impacts on the recent discussions of the potential incompatibility between string theory and Quintessence.

Assisted Inflation in Randall-Sundrum Scenario

We extend the Randall-Sundrum(RS) model by adding a fundamental scalar field in the bulk, then study the multi-field assisted inflationary solution on brane. We will show that this model satisfies not only the observation, but also provides a solution to hierarchy problem. Furthermore in comparison with the chaotic inflation model with a single field in four space-time dimension, the parameters in our model required for a successful inflation are natural.

Remarks on the Theory of Cosmological Perturbation

It is shown that the power spectrum defined in the Synchronous Gauge can not be directly used to calculate the predictions of cosmological models on the large-scale structure of universe, which should be calculated directly by a suitable gauge-invariant power spectrum or the power spectrum defined in the Newtonian Gauge.
