Images Distortion Hypothesis
arXiv.org
27 Feb 2024
Abstract
We recently hypothesized that a distortion parameter exists such that its
signed sum for all images of singular gravitational lensing of a source
vanishes identically [1]. We found a distortion parameter (the ratio of the
tangential to radial magnifications) that satisfied the hypothesis for the
images of Schwarzschild lensing. We now show that another distortion parameter
(the difference between tangential and radial magnifications) also supports our
hypothesis when we perform computations with the primary-secondary and
relativistic images. The distortion parameters, which satisfy the aesthetically
appealing hypothesis, will likely aid in developing gravitational lensing
theory. Finally, we discuss the conservation of distortions of images in
gravitational lensing.
