Gravitational lensing beyond geometric optics: I. Formalism and observables
arXiv:1808.06203 · doi:10.1007/s10714-018-2494-x
Abstract
The laws of geometric optics and their corrections are derived for scalar, electromagnetic, and gravitational waves propagating in generic curved spacetimes. Local peeling-type results are obtained, where different components of high-frequency fields are shown to scale with different powers of their frequencies. Additionally, finite-frequency corrections are identified for a number of conservation laws and observables. Among these observables are a field's energy and momentum densities, as well as several candidates for its corrected "propagation directions."
