The relevance of the cosmological constant for lensing. (English) Zbl 1197.83028

Summary: This review surveys some recent developments concerning the effect of the cosmological constant on the bending of light by a spherical mass in Kottler (Schwarzschild-de Sitter) spacetime. Some proposals of how such an effect may be put into a setting of gravitational lensing in cosmology are also discussed. The picture that emerges from this review is that it seems fair to assert that the contribution of \(\Lambda \) to the bending of light has by now been well established, while putting the \(\Lambda \) light-bending terms into a cosmological context is still subject to some interpretation and requires further work and clarification.
