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.
