Electromagnetic Induced Gravitational Perturbations

Abstract

We study the physical consequences of two diffferent but closely related perturbation schemes applied to the Einstein-Maxwell equations. In one case the starting space-time is flat while in the other case it is Schwarzschild. In both cases the perturbation is due to a combined electric and magnetic dipole field. We can see, within the Einstein-Maxwell equations a variety of physical consequences. They range from induced gravitational energy-momentum loss, to a well defined spin angular momentum with its loss and a center-of-mass with its equations of motion.
