We analyze the motion of test particles in the spacetime of the plane-fronted (pp) waves with torsion in four-dimensions. We conclude that there is a velocity memory effect in the direction of advanced time and along radial direction, while…

We study two type effects of gravitational field on mechanical gyroscopes (i.e. rotating extended bodies). The first depends on special relativity and equivalence principle. The second is related to the coupling (i.e. a new force) between…

New approach to the description of a gravitation using analogy between the optical and mechanical phenomenon is advanced. For this purpose in extended (1+4)-dimensional space G(1,4) the gravitational effects are considered: the speed of…

The large-distance approximation of a sandwich gravitational wave by a continuous but not necessarily smooth profile provides us with an approximate analytic description of particle motion in a gravitational wave as spelled out for the…

The challenge of defining a physical notion of gravitational waves, together with the associated dynamical degrees of freedom of a gravity theory, is a long-standing problem that famously lead to the discovery the Bondi-Metzner-Sachs (BMS)…

Using two-dimensional duals of soft dynamics in QED and gravity, we perform an expansion of the respective memory effects in spin multipoles.

In the plane wave spacetime, we find that there will be a precession angle deviation between two free-falling gyroscopes when gravitational waves passed through. This kind of angle deviation is closely related to the well-known standard…

It has long been known that gravitational waves from compact binary coalescing sources are responsible for a first-order displacement memory effect experienced by a pair of freely falling test masses. This constant displacement is sourced…

We investigate the gravitational memory effect in the full Generalized Proca gravity, the most general metric theory including a gravitational Proca field with derivative self-interactions that still maintains second-order equations of…

Gravitomagnetic effects are characterized by two phenomena: first, the geodetic effect which describes the precession of the spin of a gyroscope in a free orbit around a massive object, second, the Lense-Thirring effect which describes the…

Several relativistic quantum gravitational effects such as spin-rotation coupling, gravitomagnetic charge and gravitational Meissner effect are investigated in the present letter. The field equation of gravitomagnetic matter is suggested…

We argue that soft gravitational radiation leads to a misidentification of the angular momentum of stars seen in distant galaxies, and that this could be interpreted as an additional mass inside the orbit of the star. It is tempting to…

General relativity predicts that two freely counter-revolving test particles in the exterior field of a central rotating mass take different periods of time to complete the same full orbit; this time difference leads to the gravitomagnetic…

The transit of a gravitating radiation pulse past arrays of detectors stationed near future null infinity in the vacuum is considered. It is shown that the relative positions and clock times of the detectors before and after the radiation…
