"Gravitational wave memory, soft gravitons theorems and looking for gravitons in gravitational waves"Subhendra Mohanty , IIT Kanpur [Host: David Nichols]
ABSTRACT:
I will discuss a field theory treatment of standard gravitational waves calculations. Using the QFT formalism we can connect the gravitational memory signal with what are called 'soft-graviton theorems' which gives an insight into the origin of the memory signal and makes the calculations easier in some cases. I will also discuss if the graviton nature of gravitational waves can be proved using the existing gravitational wave detection experiments. |
