Gravitational waves in a molecular medium: dispersion, extra polarizations and quantitative estimates

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2023-02-08 v1

Abstract

We analyze the propagation of gravitational waves in a molecular matter medium: our findings demonstrate that dispersion only is expected, together with the emergence of three extra polarizations, able to induce longitudinal stresses. We also give quantitative estimates of the predicted effects.
