The energy momentum tensor of a magnetic field always contains a spin-2 component in its anisotropic stress and therefore generates gravitational waves. It has been argued in the literature (Caprini & Durrer \cite{CD}) that this…

Gravitational waves are propagating undulations in the spacetime fabric, which interact very weakly with their environment. In cosmology, gravitational-wave distortions are produced by most of the inflationary scenarios and their…
It is shown that a sub-luminal electromagnetic plasma wave, propagating in phase with a background sub-luminal gravitational wave in a dispersive medium, can undergo parametric amplification. For this phenomena to occur, the dispersive…
