TLDR
The linearized dynamical equation for metric perturbations in a fully general, non-vacuum, background geometry is obtained from the Hamilton variational principle applied to the action up to second order.Abstract:
The linearized dynamical equation for metric perturbations in a fully general, non-vacuum, background geometry is obtained from the Hamilton variational principle applied to the action up to second order. We specialize our results to the case of traceless and transverse metric fluctuations, and we discuss how the intrinsic properties of the matter stress tensor can affect (and modify) the process of gravity wave propagation even in most conventional geometric scenarios, like (for instance) those described by a FLRW metric background. We provide explicit examples for fluid, scalar field and electromagnetic field sources.read more

Microphysical manifestations of viscosity and consequences for anisotropies in the very early universe
Chandrima Ganguly,Jerome Quintin +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that a self-interacting scalar field at finite temperature allows for efficient isotropisation, whether in a Bianchi type I or type-IX spacetime, although the model is not tractable all the way to a singularity.

Gravitational wave luminosity distance in viscous cosmological models
TL;DR: In this article , the authors studied the relationship between the luminosity distance-redshift relation d L GW(z) and the energy momentum tensor tensor (EM tensor), and showed that the presence of a constant shear viscosity in the tensor is the most relevant effect.

Action Integrals and Partition Functions in Quantum Gravity
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived finite, purely imaginary values for the actions of the Kerr-Newman solutions and de Sitter space, which they used to evaluate the entropy of these metrics and find that it is always equal to one quarter the area of the event horizon in fundamental units.
