摘要
We solve the wave equation for the electromagnetic field tensors associated with the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) photons in a universe with scalar metric perturbations. We show that the coupling of the electromagnetic fields with the curvature associated with the scalar perturbations gives rise to an optical rotation of the microwave background photons. The magnitude of the gravitationally generated V-Stokes parameter anisotropy Delta (V) is however very small compared to the linear polarization caused by Thomson scattering.
