Abstract

We consider the point mass and the singular isothermal sphere gravitational lens models in the framework of relativistic theories of gravitation which admit the standard parametrized post-Newtonian (PPN) formalism. In the case of the singular isothermal sphere, we determine the PPN parameter γ in terms of the image angular separation, the ratio of two distances and the velocity dispersion in the deflector which can be evaluated from observations.
