Geometric studies of the interplay between spin and gravity
Loïc Marsot
This PhD thesis is the conclusion of some of my works carried out at the Centre de Physique Théorique, under the supervision of Serge Lazzarini. Two subjects are presented in the m…

How does the photon's spin affect Gravitational Wave measurements?
Loïc Marsot
We study the effect of the polarization of light beams on the time delay measured in Gravitational Wave experiments. To this end, we consider the Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon equatio…

Gravitational birefringence of light in Schwarzschild spacetime
Christian Duval, Loic Marsot, Thomas Schucker
We compute the gravitational birefringence of light as it undergoes gravitational lensing. To this end we re-derive the Souriau-Saturnini equations in the Schwarzschild metric and…
