In 2015, a huge scientific collaboration called LIGO discovered gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are huge ripples in spacetime that occur as a result of astrophysical events, like collisions between massive things in outer space. In 2015, the LIGO scientists found a signal that came from two black holes merging. This was huge scientific news, and resulted in the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics for Rai Weiss, Kip Thorne, and Barry Barish.

G L, where L is a 4-form called Lagrange density. In electrodynamics, it is given by L := − 2 dA ∧ ? dA + A ∧ J. Now consider an infinitesimal variation of the electromagnetic field byA→ A+ Q, where Q is a 1-form and where 0 < 1 is small. The principle of least action tells us that S does not change to lowest order in , provided that Q vanishes on the boundary ∂G. (a) Show that the stationarity of S leads us to the condition (2P) ∫
G L,其中L是4形式的拉格朗日密度。在电动力学中,它由L:=−2 dA∧?dA + A∧J.现在考虑A→A+ Q对电磁场的无穷小变化,其中Q是1形式,且0 < 1很小。最小作用原理告诉我们,如果Q在边界∂G上消失,S不会改变到最低阶。(a)证明S的平稳性使我们得到条件(2P)∫
