Gravitational-wave effects in the most general vector–tensor theory

Abstract In this paper, we establish a model-independent framework based on the Isaacson picture to analyze the gravitational-wave effects in the most general vector–tensor theory that yields second-order field equations. Within this framework, we derive two basic sets of equations for the Isaacson...
