Arnold’s singularity theory and gravitational lensing
Copyright policy )Arnold’s singularity theory and gravitational lensing
Caustics in gravitational lensing are formulated from a symplectic geometric viewpoint. Arnold’s singularity theory is then used to give a rigorous local classification of generic gravitational lensing caustics and their evolutions. A local classification is also presented of generic image surfaces, time-delay image surfaces, big caustics, and bicaustics. The results of each classification are discussed and graphically illustrated.
