Gravitational wave memory, soft graviton theorems and looking for gravitons in gravitational waves

Prof. Subhendra Mohanty (Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India)


I will discuss a field theory treatment of standard gravita- tional waves calculations. Using the QFT formalism we can connect the gravitational memory signal with what are called 'soft-graviton theorems' which gives an insight into  the origin of the memory signal and makes the calculations easier in some cases. I will also discuss if the graviton nature of gravitational waves can be proved using the existing gravi- tational wave detection experiments.
