We approach the discretisation of Maxwell's equations directly in space-time without making any non-relativistic assumptions with the particular focus on simulations in rotating reference frames. As a research example we study Sagnac's…

Gyroscopes play a crucial role in many and diverse applications associated with navigation, positioning, and inertial sensing [1]. In general, most optical gyroscopes rely on the Sagnac effect -- a relativistically induced phase shift that…

We compare and contrast the different points of view of rotation in general relativity, put forward by Mach, Thirring and Lense, and Goedel. Our analysis relies on two tools: (i) the Sagnac effect which allows us to measure rotations of a…

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…

A simple, though rarely considered, thought experiment on relativistic rotation is described in which internal inconsistencies in the theory of relativity seem to arise. These apparent inconsistencies are resolved by appropriate insight…

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…

In this paper, it is shown, using a geometrical approach, the isotropy of the velocity of light measured in a rotating frame in Minkowski space-time, and it is verified that this result is compatible with the Sagnac effect. Furthermore, we…

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…

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…

Sagnac effect has been studied in terms of Gyroscopic system in both Lorentz frame as well as flat Einstein frame. The Einstein equivalence principle has been used to determine the phase shift due to pseudo force in the transformation from…

The {\it exact} formulation for the effect of the Brans-Dicke scalar field on the gravitational corrections to the Sagnac delay in the Jordan and Einstein frames is presented for the first time. The results completely agree with the known…

The relationship between the harmonic mean and special relativity is concisely elucidated. The arguments in favor and against SRT are explored. It is shown that the ratio of the speed of light to the harmonic mean of the onward and return…

Light propagating in opposite directions around the same loop in general shows a relative phase shift when recombined. This phenomenon is known as the Sagnac effect after Georges Sagnac who, in 1913, demonstrated with an interferometer on a…

The difference in travel time of corotating and counter-rotating light waves in the field of a central massive and spinning body is studied. The corrections to the special relativistic formula are worked out in a Kerr field. Estimation of…

Clock synchronisation is conventional when inertial systems are involved. This statement is no longer true in accelerated systems. A demonstration is given in the case of a rotating platform. We conclude that theories based on the…

The standard expression for the Wigner rotation leads to incorrect result for the wavefront rotation. The results for the Wigner rotation in the Lorentz lab frame obtained by many experts on special relativity such as Moeller and Jackson,…

Sagnac gyroscopes with increased sensitivity are being developed and operated with a variety of goals including the measurement of General-Relativistic effects. We show that such systems can be used to search for Lorentz violation within…

It is shown that the complete description of the propagation of light in a gravitational field and in non-inertial reference frames in general requires an average coordinate and an average proper velocity of light. The need for an average…

The rotating frame is considered in quantum mechanics on the basis of the position dependent boost relating this frame to the non rotating inertial frame. We derive the Sagnac phase shift and the spin coupling with the rotation in the non…

Non-time-orthogonal analysis of rotating frames is applied to objects in gravitational orbits and found to be internally consistent. The object's surface speed about its axis of rotation, but not its orbital speed, is shown to be readily…
