Expanding impulsive gravitational waves
We explicitly demonstrate that the known solutions for expanding impulsive spherical gravitational waves that have been obtained by a “cut and paste” method may be considered to be impulsive limits of the Robinson–Trautman vacuum type N solutions. We extend these results to all the generically distinct subclasses of these solutions in Minkowski, de Sitter and anti-de Sitter backgrounds. For the...
متن کاملNon-expanding impulsive gravitational waves
We investigate a class of impulsive gravitational waves which propagate either in Minkowski or in the (anti–) de Sitter background. These waves are constructed as impulsive members of the Kundt class P (Λ) of non-twisting, non-expanding type N solutions of vacuum Einstein equations with a cosmological constant Λ. We show that the only non-trivial waves of this type in Minkowski spacetime are im...
متن کاملGravitational waves in an expanding Universe
We study the tensorial modes of the two-fluid model, where one of this fluids has an equation of state p = −ρ/3 (variable cosmological constant, cosmic string fluid, texture) or p = −ρ (cosmological constant), while the other fluid is an ordinary matter (radiation, stiff matter, incoherent matter). In the first case, it is possible to have a closed Universe whose dynamics can be that of an open...
متن کاملNonlinear Gravitational Clustering in Expanding Universe
The gravitational clustering of collisionless particles in an expanding universe is modelled using some simple physical ideas. I show that it is possible to understand the nonlinear clustering in terms of three well defined regimes: (1) linear regime; (2) quasilinear regime which is dominated by scale-invariant radial infall and (3) nonlinear regime dominated by nonradial motions and mergers. M...
متن کاملExpanding the Area of Gravitational Entropy
I describe how gravitational entropy is intimately connected with the concept of gravitational heat, expressed as the difference between the total and free energies of a given gravitational system. From this perspective one can compute these thermodyanmic quantities in settings that go considerably beyond Bekenstein’s original insight that the area of a black hole event horizon can be identifie...
