No-birefringence conditions for spacetime

arXiv:hep-th/0508144 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.72.087502

Abstract

Within the axiomatic premetric approach to classical electrodynamics, we derive under which covariant conditions the quartic Fresnel surface represents a unique light cone without birefringence in vacuum.
