Gravitational waves are predicted by the general theory of relativity. In [6] D. Christodoulou showed that gravitational waves have a nonlinear memory. We proved in [3] that the electromagnetic field contributes at highest order to the nonlinear memory effect of gravitational waves. In the present paper, we study this …

We discuss our recent work [4] in which gravitational radiation was studied by evaluating the Wang-Yau quasi-local mass of surfaces of fixed size at the infinity of both axial and polar perturbations of the Schwarzschild spacetime, à la Chandrasekhar [1].

Researchers resolved ambiguities in gravitational radiation charges.

The geometrical structures (in the sense of E. Cartan) are analyzed which underlie the gravitational radiation phenomenon. Among the results are : - the introduction of the adapted frame bundle to a congruence of isotropic hypersurfaces in a Lorentzian manifold, - the description of the reduced frame bundle which admit…

We prove that for spacetimes solving the Einstein-Maxwell (EM) equations, the electromagnetic field contributes at highest order to the nonlinear memory effect of gravitational waves. In [5] D. Christodoulou showed that gravitational waves have a nonlinear memory. He discussed how this effect can be measured as a perma…

The paper challenges the smooth null infinity model by constructing counter-examples and showing non-smoothness of null infinity.

When a spacetime takes Bondi radiating metric, and is vacuum and asymptotically flat at spatial infinity which ensures the positive mass theorem, we prove that the standard ADM energy-momentum is the past limit of the Bondi energy-momentum. We also derive a formula relating the ADM energy-momentum of any asymptotically…

In a vacuum spacetime equips with the Bondi's radiating metric which is asymptotically flat at spatial infinity including gravitational radiation ({\bf Condition D}), we establish the relation between the ADM total linear momentum and the Bondi momentum. The relation between the ADM total energy and the Bondi mass in t…

In a vacuum spacetime equipped with the Bondi's radiating metric which is asymptotically flat at spatial infinity including gravitational radiation ({\bf Condition D}), we establish the relation between the ADM total energy-momentum and the Bondi energy-momentum for perturbed radiative spatial infinity. The perturbatio…

New method resolves ambiguity in measuring black hole merger angular momentum.

Study revisits Bondi mass and discusses memory effect in polyhomogeneous spacetimes.

We study the Bondi-Sachs rockets with nonzero cosmological constant. We observe that the acceleration of the systems arises naturally in the asymptotic symmetries of (anti-) de Sitter spacetimes. Assuming the validity of the concepts of energy and mass previously introduced in asymptotically flat spacetimes, we find th…

In this paper, we show that the peeling property still holds for Bondi-Sachs metrics with nonzero cosmological constant under the boundary condition given by Sommerfeld's radiation condition together with three nontrivial $Λ$-independent functions $B$, $a$, $b$. This should indicate the new boundary condition is natura…

There are two important statements regarding the Trautman-Bondi mass at null infinity: one is the positivity, and the other is the Bondi mass loss formula, which are both global in nature. In this note, we compute the limit of the Wang-Yau quasi-local mass on unit spheres at null infinity of an asymptotically flat spac…

A spacetime denotes a pure radiation field if its energy momentum tensor represents a situation in which all the energy is transported in one direction with the speed of light. In 1989, Wils and later in 1997 Ludwig and Edgar studied the physical properties of pure radiation metrics, which are conformally related to a …

We prove boundedness and polynomial decay statements for solutions to the spin $\pm1$ Teukolsky-type equation projected to the $\ell=1$ spherical harmonic on Reissner-Nordström spacetime. The equation is verified by a gauge-invariant quantity which we identify and which involves the electromagnetic and curvature tensor…

Formulae track evolution of angular momentum and center of mass at null infinity.

The increased usage of solar energy places additional importance on forecasts of solar radiation. Solar panel power production is primarily driven by the amount of solar radiation and it is therefore important to have accurate forecasts of solar radiation. Accurate forecasts that also give information on the forecast u…

We define pure radiation metrics with parallel rays to be n-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian metrics that admit a parallel null line bundle K and whose Ricci tensor vanishes on vectors that are orthogonal to K. We give necessary conditions in terms of the Weyl, Cotton and Bach tensors for a pseudo-Riemannian metric to be …

Vacuum gravity shows black holes can form without collapse.

In this paper, the radiation field is defined for solutions to Einstein vacuum equations which are close to Minkowski space-time with spacial dimension $n\geq 4$. The regularity properties and asymptotic behavior of those Einstein vacuum solutions are established at the same time. In particular, the map from Cauchy int…

As a generalization of the Schwarzschild solution, Vaidya presented a radiating metric to develop a model of the exterior of a star including its radiation field, called Vaidya metric. The present paper deals with the investigation on the curvature properties of Vaidya metric. It is shown that Vaidya metric can be cons…

In this paper we present a method for simultaneously segmenting brain tumors and an extensive set of organs-at-risk for radiation therapy planning of glioblastomas. The method combines a contrast-adaptive generative model for whole-brain segmentation with a new spatial regularization model of tumor shape using convolut…

Paper proves existence of Hadamard states for Maxwell equations.

We find two conditions related to the {\it news functions} of the Bondi's radiating vacuum spacetimes. We provide a complete proof of the positivity of the Bondi mass by using Schoen-Yau's method under one condition and by using Witten's method under another condition.

With millimeter wave wireless communications, the resulting radiation reflects on most visible objects, creating rich multipath environments, namely in urban scenarios. The radiation captured by a listening device is thus shaped by the obstacles encountered, which carry latent information regarding their relative posit…

However, there are several issues in different imaging modalities such as slow imaging speed in MRI, radiation injury in CT and PET. Therefore, accelerating MRI, reducing radiation dose in CT and PET have been ongoing research topics since their inve…

Performance of nuclear threat detection systems based on gamma-ray spectrometry often strongly depends on the ability to identify the part of measured signal that can be attributed to background radiation.

Knowledge-based planning (KBP) is an automated approach to radiation therapy treatment planning that involves predicting desirable treatment plans before they are then corrected to deliverable ones. We propose a generative adversarial network (GAN) approach for predicting desirable 3D dose distributions that eschews th…
