The isoperimetric problem in riemannian optical geometry

Journal Article Pure and Applied Mathematics Quarterly · January 1, 2020 In general relativity, spatial light rays of static spherically symmetric spacetimes are geodesics of surfaces in Riemannian optical geometry. In this paper, we apply results on the isoperimetric problem to show that length-minimizing curves subject to an ... Full text Cite
