Light amplification by gravitational waves in scalar-tensor theories of gravity
Abstract
Description
It is shown that the amplification of a light beam by gravitational waves in scalar-tensor theories of gravity is a first order effect in the wave amplitudes. In general relativity, instead, the effect is only of second order.
