Spin Wave Optics of Gravitational Waves - Wave Effects Beyond Geometric Optics

Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematics and Physics (ESI) via YouTube

Overview

Explore a 29-minute conference talk from the Workshop on "Lensing and Wave Optics in Strong Gravity" at the Erwin Schrödinger International Institute that delves into the fascinating realm of gravitational wave astronomy and its implications for understanding the universe. Discover how the lensing of gravitational waves serves as a powerful tool for investigating small-scale matter distributions, with particular emphasis on the importance of considering wave and spin effects beyond traditional geometric optics approximations. Learn about the spin-2 nature and long wavelengths of gravitational waves, and gain insights into recent developments in spin wave optics of lensed gravitational waves that are advancing our knowledge of black holes and cosmic phenomena.
