On the generalization of McVittie's model for an inhomogeneity in a cosmological spacetime
Matteo Carrera, Domenico Giulini
McVittie's spacetime is a spherically symmetric solution to Einstein's equation with an energy-momentum tensor of a perfect fluid. It describes the external field of a single quasi…
Influence of global cosmological expansion on local dynamics and kinematics
Matteo Carrera, Domenico Giulini
We review attempts to estimate the influence of global cosmological expansion on local systems. Here `local' is taken to mean that the sizes of the considered systems are much smal…
On Doppler tracking in cosmological spacetimes
Matteo Carrera, Domenico Giulini
We give a rigorous derivation of the general-relativistic formula for the two-way Doppler tracking of a spacecraft in Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker and in McVittie spacetimes…
On the influence of the global cosmological expansion on the local dynamics in the Solar System
Matteo Carrera, Domenico Giulini
In this expository paper we address the question of whether, and to what extent, the cosmological expansion influences the dynamics on small scales (as compared to cosmological one…
Classical Analysis of the van Dam - Veltman Discontinuity
Matteo Carrera, Domenico Giulini
We consider the classical theory of a gravitational field with spin 2 and non-vanishing (Pauli-Fierz) mass in flat spacetime, coupled to electromagnetism and point particles. We es…
