Abstract
Light experiences dielectric matter as an effective gravitational field and matter experiences light as a form of gravity as well. Light and matter wa ves experience each other as dual space-time metrics, thus establishing a u nique model in field theory. Actio et reactio are governed by Abraham's ene rgy-momentum tensor and equations of state for quantum dielectrics.
