The Contribution of the Cosmological Constant to the Relativistic Bending of Light Revisited
Wolfgang Rindler, Mustapha Ishak (The University of Texas at Dallas)
TL;DR
This paper revisits the impact of the cosmological constant on light bending, demonstrating that it does influence gravitational lensing when considering the Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime.
Contribution
It clarifies the role of the cosmological constant in light deflection, correcting previous assumptions that it had no effect.
Findings
The cosmological constant affects light bending in Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime.
Previous claims of no contribution are challenged and revised.
The analysis confirms the significance of $mbda$ in gravitational lensing calculations.
Abstract
We study the effect of the cosmological constant on the bending of light by a concentrated spherically symmetric mass. Contrarily to previous claims, we show that when the Schwarzschild-de Sitter geometry is taken into account, does indeed contribute to the bending.
