Optics of spin-1 particles from gravity-induced phases
G. Papini, G. Scarpetta, A. Feoli +1
The Maxwell and Maxwell-de Rham equations can be solved exactly to first order in an external gravitational field. The gravitational background induces phases in the wave functions…

Strong deflection limit of black hole gravitational lensing with arbitrary source distances
V. Bozza, G. Scarpetta
The gravitational field of supermassive black holes is able to strongly bend light rays emitted by nearby sources. When the deflection angle exceeds , gravitational lensing can…
