Gravitational lensing has developed into one of the most powerful tools for the analysis of the dark universe. This review summarises the theory of gravitational lensing, its main current applications and representative results achieved so far.

Gravitational Lensing of Continuous Gravitational Waves [PDF]
Continuous gravitational waves are analogous to monochromatic light and could therefore be used to detect wave effects such as interference or diffraction. This would be possible with strongly lensed gravitational waves.

Gravitational Lensing by Wormholes [PDF]
Gravitational lensing by traversable Lorentzian wormholes is a ew possibility which is analyzed here in the strong field limit. Wormhole solutions are considered in the Einstein minimally coupled theory and in the brane world model.

Since Galileo, the arrays of lenses in telescopes have revolutionized the way we see planets, moons, and the universe. Now gravitational lenses made of warped spacetime are helping astronomers peer into the farthest corners of the cosmos.

Inverting Gravitational Lenses [PDF]
Summary: Gravitational lensing provides a powerful tool to study a number of fundamental questions in astrophysics. Fortuitously, one can begin to explore some nontrivial issues associated with this phenomenon without a lot of very sophisticated mathematics, making an elementary treatment of this topic tractable even to senior undergraduates. We give a

Gravitational Lensing in Plasma [PDF]
We develop a model of gravitational lensing in plasma. We show that the gravitaional deflection angle by point mass in the homogeneous plasma differs from the vacuum deflection angle and depends on frequency of the photon. The dependence of the lensing angle on the photon frequency in the homogeneous plasma resembles the properties of a refractive ...

Exploring gravitational lensing [PDF]
In this article, we discuss the idea of gravitational lensing, from a systematic, historical and didactic point of view. We show how the basic lensing equation together with the concepts of geometrical optics opens a space of implications that can be explored along different dimensions.

A Highly Magnified Gravitationally Lensed Red QSO at z = 2.5 with a Significant Flux Ratio Anomaly
We present the discovery of a gravitationally lensed dust-reddened QSO at z = 2.517, identified in a survey for QSOs by infrared selection. Hubble Space Telescope imaging reveals a quadruply lensed system in a cusp configuration, with a maximum image ...

Multi-messenger gravitational lensing. [PDF]
We introduce the rapidly emerging field of multi-messenger gravitational lensing—the discovery and science of gravitationally lensed phenomena in the distant universe through the combination of multiple messengers. This is framed by gravitational lensing phenomenology that has grown since the first discoveries in the twentieth century, messengers that ...

Rotation in gravitational lenses [PDF]
Gravitational lensing deflects light. A single lens deflector can only shear images, but cannot induce rotations. Multiple lens planes can induce rotations. Such rotations can be observed in quadruply imaged sources, and can be used to distinguish between two proposed solutions of the flux anomaly problem: substructures in lensing galaxies vs large ...
