Description

We discuss astrophysical problems connected with gravitational lensing where current and future polarimetric observations are very important to clarify theoretical models. Namely, we consider polarization observations for exoplanet searches with gravitational microlensing, optical polarization for gravitational lens systems, polarization signatures of cosmological gravitational waves.
