Polarization modes for strong-field gravitational waves

TL;DR: In this paper, a general algorithm for constructing arbitrary polarization states in the Rosen form is described, which is a generalization of the algorithm described in this paper to the Brinkmann form.

Emergent rainbow spacetimes: Two pedagogical examples

Matt Visser
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present two specific and concrete examples of situations where an energy-dependent "rainbow" geometry makes perfectly good mathematical and physical sense, and these simple examples will then serve as templates suggesting ways of proceeding in situations where the underlying physics may be more complex.
Journal ArticleDOI

Towards a Gordon form of the Kerr spacetime

TL;DR: In this article, the Gordon form for the Kerr spacetime has been used for approximating the Lense-Thirring form of the slow-rotation metric with respect to the 4-velocity and refractive index of an effective medium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Some generalisations of the O'Raifeartaigh model

Matt Visser
- 21 Oct 1985 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that for three or more chiral superfields it is possible to construct an enormous class of nontrivial extensions of the usual three-field O'Raifeartaigh model.
Posted Content

Feynman's i-epsilon prescription, almost real spacetimes, and acceptable complex spacetimes.

TL;DR: In this paper, a general set of 4-dimensional complex metrics satisfying the 0-form and 1-form constraints was constructed, with the Lorentzian signature metric as the primary metric.
