The laws of geometric optics and their corrections are derived for scalar, electromagnetic, and gravitational waves propagating in generic curved spacetimes. Local peeling-type results are obtained, where different components of high-frequency fields are shown to scale with different powers of their frequencies. Additionally, finite-frequency corrections are identified for a number of conservation laws and observables. Among these observables are a field's energy and momentum densities, as well as several candidates for its corrected "propagation directions."

  1. Spin precession in the strong deflection limit

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Spin precession near black holes diverges logarithmically in the strong-deflection limit and is related to the deflection angle by a compact formula.
