Local Determination of the Light Deflection in the Sperically Symmetric Static Gravitational Field

TL;DR

This paper introduces a new invariant method to measure light deflection in static symmetric gravitational fields, predicting slight differences from classical estimates that could be experimentally verified soon.

Contribution

It proposes a novel invariant approach to determine light deflection angles, enhancing the precision over classical methods in static symmetric gravitational fields.

Findings

Predicted gravitational deflection slightly differs from classical estimates

Discrepancy may be detectable with future experiments

Method provides a more invariant measure of light deflection

Abstract

The new method of invariant definition of the measurable angle of light deflection in the static central symmetric gravitational field is suggested. The predicted pure gravitational contribution to the deflection angle slightly differs from its classical estimate and one may hope that this discrepancy could be experimentally detected in the near future.
