7. DEFLECTION OF LIGHT BY A POINT MASS
Figure 5: Deflection of a light ray passing within a distance b of a point mass
M (arXiv:astro-ph/0304438)
A ray that passes within a distance b (the impact parameter) of this mass

velocity component v⊥ = g⊥dt = g⊥dz/c = 2GM/bc. The resulting
deflection angle is then

General Relativity (GR) predicts exactly twice the deflection angle of
Newtonian theory—it was in fact this factor of two that was used as a
test of GR during Eddington’s solar eclipse expedition of 1930—so that
the deflection angle for a ray with impact parameter b near a point mass
M is

10. Gravitational lensing in a broad sense: heir of a classical
astronomy
At least in principle, fundamental to observational astronomy
Applications in three interconnected fields:
• Theoretical physics: testing fundamental theory of gravity
• Astronomy: dark matter distribution, extrasolar planets
• Mathematics: singularity theory, topology
Three approaches to gravitational lensing theory:
• Geometry of null geodesics in Lorentzian manifolds
• Geometry of spatial light rays: optical geometry, also called Fermat
geometry, optical reference geometry
• Framework used in astronomy: impulse approximation

17. LENSING IN THIS OPTICAL GEOMETRY
Geodesics on this surface correspond to spatial light rays. However, the
Gaussian curvature at every point
K < 0 (8)
so geodesics must locally diverge.
Then how can two light rays from a light source refocus at the observer,
so that the two images of the Schwarzschild lens are obtained?
18. • This method relies on the fact that the deflection angle can be
calculated using a domain outside of the light ray.
• It is known that the effect of lensing strongly depends on the mass
of the enclosed region body on spacetime.
• to calculate the Gaussian curvature of K, so that the GBT is found

• κ stands for the geodesics curvature of ∂A : {t} → A
• αi is the exterior angle with the ith
vertex.
• Euler characteristic of χ
• a Riemannian metric of g
• This technique is for asymptotically flat observers and sources.
• The resulting deflection angle is expected to be too small, which is
also a joint point in astronomy.

Note that we use the infinite region of the surface A∞ bounded by the
light ray to calculate our integral.
To obtain the deflection angle of the light, we use the zero-order
approximation of the light ray, and the deflection angle of ˆα is obtained
in leading-order terms.

In 4- D, because of electromagnetic duality, it is possible to construct a
black hole which carries both electric and magnetic charges. Such black
hole solution is called dyonic black hole. Q is the electric charge, P is the
magnetic charge.
It is worth noting that by letting Σ = 0, the radius of the throat is found
to be Rthro. =

29. Weak deflection limit with GBT and Gaussian Optical Curvature
Goulart’s wormhole solution considering the null geodesic ds2

the deflection angle of light in the equatorial plane θ = π/2, we obtain
the optical metric of CW as follows:

• The deflection angle is affected by the magnetic charge, electric

• Tthe magnetic and electric charges increase the deflection angle.
• On the other hand, the dilaton charge decreases the deflection angle.

• The above result shows the RMSBH’s gravitational lensing
deflection angle in weak field limits.
• Evidently, the deflection angle is inversely proportional to the Rindler
acceleration, that is, gravitational lensing of an accelerated RMSBH
is less than the almost non-accelerated RMSBH.
• The latter remark implies that observing RMSBH will be more
difficult than observing Schwarzschild BH.

• The first term is just the deflection angle by a static cosmic string.
• Interestingly, due to the Lorentz symmetry breaking by the
