August 24, 2020, Our paper (together with Prof. Johannes Courtial), "Transformation cosmology", was published on Physical Review A.  In this paper, we propose a way by utilizing transformation optics theory to directly obtain the equivalent isotropic refractive index profiles which are the analogies of some static spaces of general relativity. We find that the analog of de Sitter space is the Poincaré disk, while anti–de Sitter space is equivalent to Maxwell's fish-eye lens. Furthermore, with the isotropic refractivity index profile, we visualize the gravitational lensing effect of black hole from our software Dr TIM.
