Towards a self-consistent model of analogue gravity

arXiv:gr-qc/0509045

Abstract

A nonlinear scalar field theory from which an effective metric can be deduced is considered. This metric is shown to be compatible with requirements of general relativity. It is demonstrated that there is a class of solutions which fulfill both the nonlinear field equation as the Einstein equations for this metric.
