I point out that the authors' interpretation of their calculations differs from the standard interpretation, described in Sect. 84 of Landau-Lifshitz book. This casts doubt on the authors' claim that Sagnac effect "arises also in…
The Sagnac effect can be described as the difference in travel time between two photons traveling along the same path in opposite directions. In this paper we explore the consequences of this characterisation in the context of General…
In a recent paper EPJC 79:187 the general relativistic framework of the Sagnac effect was investigated. We have some comments on this paper. We show that their conclusion about the apparent variation of the speed of light does not hold in…
The Sagnac effect is a time or phase shift observed between two beams of light traveling in opposite directions in a rotating interferometer. We show that the standard description of this effect within the framework of general relativity…
The Sagnac time delay and the corresponding Sagnac phase shift, for relativistic matter and electromagnetic beams counter-propagating in a rotating interferometer, are deduced on the ground of relativistic kinematics. This purely…
Relativistic twin paradox can have important implications for Mach's principle. It has been recently argued that the behavior of the time asynchrony (different aging of twins) between two flying clocks along closed loops can be attributed…
The Sagnac effect has been shown in inertial frames as well as rotating frames. We solve the problem of the generalized Sagnac effect in the standard synchronization of clocks. The speed of a light beam that traverses an optical fiber loop…
In the literature, there is no consensus on the origin of the relativistic Sagnac effect, particularly from the standpoint of the rotating observer. The experiments of Wang et al. \cite{wang2003modified,wang2004generalized} has, however,…
In this paper, Lorentz Transformation(LT) is derived by an alternate method, using photon clocks, placed at the locations of the concerned events, which are initially synchronised using a light signal(Einstein synchrony). Then, it is shown…
We study the Sagnac effect for matter beams, in order to estimate the kinematic corrections to the basic formula, deriving from the position and the extent of the interferometer, and discuss the analogy with the Aharonov-Bohm effect. We…
We discuss the Sagnac effect in standard Minkowski coordinates and with an alternative synchronization convention. We find that both approaches lead to the same result without any contradictions. When applying standard coordinates to the…
Both the classical and the relativistic composition law for velocities are applied to re-calculate the Sagnac Effect. The ensuing formulae for the fringe shift are found to differ already in first order of v/c. Whilst the classical formula…
The phase shift due to the Sagnac Effect, for relativistic matter and electromagnetic beams, counter-propagating in a rotating interferometer, is deduced using two different approaches. From one hand, we show that the relativistic law of…
We deal with a problem concerning a supposed inconsistency in the special relativistic treatment of the so-called linear Sagnac effect. It is shown that, under modern clothes, the root of the difficulty perceived by some authors lies in…
In the seminal paper by Dahlen et al. the authors formulate an important expression as a first-order estimate of traveltime delay. The authors left out a term which would at first glance seem nontrivial, on the basis that their intention…
The conventional discussion of the observed distortions of space and time in Special Relativity (the Lorentz-Fitzgerald Contraction and Time Dilatation) is extended by considering observations, from a stationary frame, of : (i) objects…
After recalling the rigorous mathematical representations in Relativity Theory (\emph{RT}) of (i): observers, (ii): reference frames fields, (iii): their classifications, (iv) naturally adapted coordinate systems (\emph{nacs}%) to a given…
The \textit{exact} Sagnac delay in the Kerr-Taub-NUT (Newman-Unti-Tamburino) spacetime is derived in the equatorial plane for non-geodesic as well as geodesic circular orbits. The resulting formula, being exact, can be directly applied to…
An in-depth and mathematically-detailed analysis of Langevin's popular 1911 article on the special theory of relativity is presented. For the reader's convenience, English translations of large parts of the original French text are given.…
The Sagnac effect is usually considered as being a relativistic effect produced in an interferometer when the device is rotating. General relativistic explanations are known and already widely explained in many papers. Such general…
