Wave propagation in the anti-deSitter optical metric

Abstract

In this work, we use the fact that kinematics of light propagation in a non-dispersive medium associated with a bi-metric spacetime is expressed by means of a 1-parameter family of contact transformations. We present a general technique to find such transformations and explore some explicit examples for Minkowski and anti-deSitter spacetimes geometries.
