摘要
We calculate the deflection angle of light from a distant source by a galaxy cluster in Weyl's conformal gravity. The general method of calculation is first applied to calculate the deflection angle in Schwarzschild-de Sitter (Kottler) spacetime. The deflection angle calculated in Kottler spacetime includes the contribution of the cosmological constant, which quantitatively agrees with one work and disagrees with many works in the literature. We then calculate the deflection angle in Mannheim-Kazanas spacetime in two conformally related coordinate systems and find that the result includes contributions from both the cosmological constant and the Mannheim-Kazanas parameter. There are conflicting results on the deflection angle for light in Weyl gravity in the literature. We point out a possible reason for the discrepancy between our work and the others.
