A gravitational field can cause a rotation of the polarization plane of light. This phenomenon is known as the gravitational Faraday effect. It arises due to different spin-orbit interactions of left- and right-handed circularly polarized components of light. Such an interaction also causes transverse displacement in the light trajectory, in opposite directions for each component. This phenomenon is known as the gravitational spin-Hall effect of light. We study these effects in a local inertial frame in arbitrary vacuum spacetime and show that they are observer dependent and arise due to interaction of light polarization with a local gravitomagnetic field measured by the observer. Thus, to address the effects to a gravitational field alone, one has to consider zero angular momentum observers. Published by the American Physical Society 2024
