Relativistic geoid: Gravity potential and relativistic effects

Abstract: The Earth's geoid is one of the most important fundamental concepts to provide a gravity fieldrelated height reference in geodesy and associated sciences. To keep up with the ever-increasing experimental capabilities and to consistently interpret high-precision measurements without any doubt, a relativistic treatment of geodetic notions (including the geoid) within Einstein's theory of General Relativity is inevitable. Building on the theoretical construction of isochronometric surfaces and the so-called redsh… Show more

“…Due to the approximations A1 and A2 introduced in Eqs. (20) and (21), respectively, the estimation uncertainty obtained from our analytical treatment cannot perfectly match the numerical results. At the optimal working point, θ A = θ B = π/2, A1 has no effect, as proved by the fact that the analytical and the numerical approach reach identical shot-noise sensitivity for a vanishing amount of squeezing.…”

“…Correlations between the output signals of the two interferometers can be used to infer φ A − φ B [9][10][11][12][13][14], while cancelling the common-mode noise. Differential AIs configurations have been exploited for gravity gradiometry [15][16][17][18][19], gravity-field curvature measurements [20], relativistic geodesy [21], the measurements of the gravitational constant [22], to probe the law of gravitation through tests of the universality of free-fall [23][24][25][26][27], and are also expected to find applications in the detection of gravitational waves [28][29][30][31]. Furthermore, correlation spectroscopy exploits differential frequency measurements.…”

“…Gravity measurement is an effective means to investigate the Earth's interior structures (Blakely, 1996), whose applications range from mining and hydrological problems (Hinderer et al., 2020; Martinez et al., 2012) to geoid determination (Hofmann‐Wellenhof & Moritz, 2006; Philipp et al., 2020) and plate tectonics (Ebbing et al., 2018; Götze & Pail, 2018; Panet et al., 2014). With the emergence of new gravity satellites in the new millennium (Andersen et al., 2010; Floberghagen et al., 2011; Tapley et al., 2004), static and temporal satellite gravity data with unprecedented data coverage and accuracy became easily accessible to geoscientists (Bucha & Janák, 2013; Ince et al., 2019).…”

“…condition (2) is the same in all reference frames). On the other hand, in the existing literature [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23], one is typically looking for an agreement between the equivalence principle and non-relativistic quantum theory with no electromagnetic field involved (although see [24,25] for a discussion involving relativistic effects). A representative example for this matter is a neutral particle freely falling in a uniform gravitational field.…”
