Colliding plane fronted waves and a gravitoelectromagnetic searchlight
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a formulation of Einstein--Maxwell vacuum fields due to plane fronted electromagnetic waves sharing their wave fronts with gravitational waves. This is based on recent geometrical reconstruction by the authors which clearly identifies cases in collide or do not collide. In former case our construction suggests an explicit example searchlight beam, accompanied radiation, sweeps across sky. gravito--electromagnetic and its properties are described detail.

On General Plane Fronted Waves. Geodesics
A general class of Lorentzian metrics, M0 ×R, 〈·, ·〉z = 〈·, ·〉x + 2 du dv + H (x, u) du2, with (M0, 〈·, ·〉x ) any Riemannian manifold, is introduced in order to generalize classical exact plane fronted waves. Here, we start a systematic study of their main geodesic properties: geodesic completeness, geodesic connectedness and multiplicity causal character of connecting geodesics. These results ...
متن کاملType IIB Colliding Plane Waves
Four-dimensional colliding plane wave (CPW) solutions have played an important role in understanding the classical non-linearities of Einstein’s equations. In this note, we investigate CPW solutions in 2n+2–dimensional Einstein gravity with a n+1-form flux. By using an isomorphism with the four-dimensional problem, we construct exact solutions analogous to the Szekeres vacuum solution in four d...
متن کاملColliding Plane Waves with W = M = 0
It is shown that there are three vacuum and one electrovacuum solutions of diagonal plane waves with M = 0 and constant Maxwell scalars. Namely, these are the single wave, Stoyanov, Babala and Bell-Szekeres solutions. A comparison is made with the planar solutions of Taub.

Collision of plane waves in dilaton gravity theories and low energy limit of string theory is considered. The formulation of the problem and some exact solutions are presented PACS: 04.20.Jb , 04.40.Nr , 04.30.Nk , 11.27.+d
متن کاملGeneralized plane-fronted gravitational waves in any dimension
We study the gravitational waves in spacetimes of arbitrary dimension. They generalize the pp-waves and the Kundt waves, obtained earlier in four dimensions. Explicit solutions of the Einstein and Einstein-Maxwell equations are derived for an arbitrary cosmological constant. PACS: 04.50.+h, 04.30.-w.
