Mathematicians usually refer to manifolds with a vanishing Ricci tensor as Ricci-flat manifolds and manifolds with a Ricci tensor proportional to the metric as Einstein manifolds.

Linearized stability analysis of thin-shell wormholes with a cosmological constant by Francisco S.N. Lobo and Paulo Crawford.
Applying linearized gravity to the weak-field warp drive, i.e., for non-relativistic warp-bubble velocities, we find that the occurrence of energy condition violations in this class of spacetimes is generic to the form of the geometry under consideration and is not simply a side-effect of the ''superluminal'' properties.
Using the linearized construction it is now possible to compare the warp field energy with the mass-energy of the spaceship, and applying the ''volume integral quantifier'', extremely stringent conditions on the warp drive spacetime are found.

where Ø(t) is its angular displacement in degrees from the vertical at time t, L is the length of the cord attached to the ball of the pendulum, g is the force of gravity, and u(t) is the control variable (forcing term) at time t.
The constraints on u(t) indicate that the force applied to the ball of the pendulum cannot exceed its mass in magnitude, i.e.
The balls acceleration, dx2 / dt, equals the sum of the force of gravity, -x1(t), plus the force of the control variable, u(t).

 Luboš Motl's reference frame: Background independence
In all cases (causal set theory, loop quantum gravity, triangulation models), the speculations are based on the naive picture of space as being composed of infinitely sharp points - like in the classical theory - which are moreover exactly discrete.
If the allerged gravity wave exists and that the gravity wave from the flyby airplane has indeed be detected, they should be able to fly a couple more airplanes close by, and show that it is repeatable.
Gravity is simply the geometric effect of spacetime curvature, not a force, and it can NOT be allowed to propagate information from one place to another in any way, shape or form, at speed of light or not.

Loop quantum gravity is based on a classical formulation of 3+1 gravity in terms of a real SU(2) connection.
Linearization of this classical formulation about a flat background yields a description of linearized gravity in terms of a real U(1)xU(1)xU(1) connection.

 7 Structure Formation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
If an inflationary period is present, the initial seeds for the generation of the primordial inhomogeneities that lead to the large scale structure have their source in the quantum fluctuations of the inflaton field, the field which is generally responsible for driving inflation.
Stochastic gravity provides a sound and natural formalism for the derivation of the cosmological perturbations generated during inflation.
Stochastic gravity, however, can naturally deal with the fluctuations of the inflaton field even beyond the linear approximation.

Loop quantum gravity will not have the graviton as a fundamental particle, but like any theory of quantum gravity, it (if it is viable) should have a limit in which spacetime behaves approximately like a fixed background filled with gravitons.
The leading terms of a perturbation expansion of GR gives rise to linearized gravity, which upon quantization leads to the graviton.
Of course, non-renormalizability means that you can play this game only so far, but renormalization group considerations require that the linearized gravity picture approximation to full GR become, upon quantization, a graviton approximation to full QG.

There is some scientific justification for this — from careful astronomical observations we have some evidence — but not enough evidence — that the laws of atomic physics, for instance, and of electromagnetism and gravity are same in the vicinity of a distant quasar as on earth.
The first is the assumption of a theory of gravity — almost always Einstein's general relativity, which has Newton's gravitational theory as its classical limit.
Very different physics — involving quantum gravity, the possible unification of gravity with the three nongravitational physical interactions and the application of these to the very early universe — is needed to describe this crucial initial phase of the universe's history in any way even approaching adequacy.

We discuss the limits of validity of the semiclassical theory of gravity in which a classical metric is coupled to the expectation value of the stress tensor.
The splitting of the linear connection into a metric and an electromagnetic part together with a characteristic length scale in the theory strongly suggest that gravity and electromagnetism have the same geometrical origin.
This result is used for the dimensional reduction in a theory of multidimensional gravity with curvature squared terms on M^{4} times S. We calculate the potential of scalar fields, emerging from extra components of the metric and torsion, and analyze the role of the torsion for the stability of spontaneous compactification.

 3 History of Loop Quantum Gravity, Main Steps
Loop quantum gravity is based on the formulation of classical general relativity, which goes under the name of ``new variables'', or ``Ashtekar variables'', or ``connectio-dynamics'' (in contrast to Wheeler's ``geometro-dynamics'').
Using these techniques, they were able to give a mathematically rigorous construction of the state space of the theory, solving long standing problems deriving from the lack of a basis (the insufficient control on the algebraic identities between loop states).
In my opinion, the most significant result of loop quantum gravity is the discovery that certain geometrical quantities, in particular area and volume, are represented by operators that have discrete eigenvalues.

In fact, this peculiarity of the Linearized Gravity metric is due to the LORENTZ GAUGE coordinate restriction used to simplify the metric.
Anyway, if you use the "Linearized Gravity" metric, that metric says that the shrinkage is the SAME regardless of the orientation of the ruler....
For instance, the form of the Linearized Gravity Metric with its (1-2Phi)(dx^2+dy^2+dz^2) term tells us that for ANY potential Phi, the x, y and z dilations MUST always be equal at any point, regardless of the form of the potential.

Triadic CS topological gravity can be broken down to Minkowski space while Lorentz-CS theory does not allow this type of process.
Since LCS gravity cannot be broken through a triadic CS type of term, we now consider the possibility of a harder type of breaking induced by the presence, in flat Minkowski space, of a Fierz-Pauli mass term.
As usually happens in light-front coordinates the 9 constraints are linear ordinary differential equations in the "space-like" variable v.

For vanishing rotation, the decay or growth scale becomes infinite and the Kelvin wave reduces to an ordinary gravity wave propagating parallel to the coast.

AB: We use crustal thickness estimates for POLARIS Southern Ontario stations as constraints in a linearized inversion of gridded Bouguer gravity data for topography of the crust-mantle boundary.
Our gravity inversion assumes a constant density contrast between crust and mantle, and parameterizes the topography of the crust-mantle boundary as discrete rectangular blocks sitting at a reference depth.
By assuming that the mass of one block is concentrated at its base, we obtain a linear relationship between the height of the block and the vertical component of gravity measured at the surface.

Loop quantum gravity is a mathematically rigorous and by now well-developed approach to the problem of quantizing general relativity.
Nevertheless, an obvious inroad to finding satisfactory semiclassical states is to study states which have features in common with the coherent states one can construct in a Fock representation.
Progress has been made by considering a 'polymer picture' of linearized gravity, constructing a kinematical state space based on graphs as in the full theory.
