Analog black holes in flowing dielectrics
Abstract
We show that a flowing dielectric medium with a linear response to an external electric field can be used to generate an analog geometry that has many of the formal properties of a Schwarzschild black hole for light rays, in spite of birefringence. We also discuss the possibility of generating these analog black holes in the laboratory.
