Cotton Double Copy for Gravitational Waves

High Energy Physics - Theory 2022-07-27 v1 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

We construct a double copy relation between the Cotton spinor and the dual field strength spinor of topologically massive theories, as the three-dimensional analogue of the Weyl double copy. The relationship holds in curved backgrounds for wave solutions. We give an explicit proof for Type N spacetimes and show examples satisfying the Cotton double copy.
