Plane Waves and Vacuum Interpolation
A 1 2 -BPS family of time dependent plane wave spacetimes which give rise to exactly solvable string backgrounds is presented. In particular a solution which interpolates between Minkowski spacetime and the maximally supersymmetric homogeneous plane wave along a timelike direction is analyzed. We work in d = 4, N = 2 supergravity, but the results can be easily extended to d = 10, 11. The confor...
متن کاملAre There Pressure Waves in the Vacuum?
Are there sound waves in the vacuum? The question might seem silly, but here’s my point: (i) the Higgs vacuum of the Standard Model, with its nonzero background field 〈Φ〉 6 = 0, is not ‘empty,’ but rather is a kind of medium. (ii) For very basic reasons, one expects any medium to propagate pressure waves for sufficiently long wavelengths. At length scales much, much longer than the mean free pa...
متن کاملGravitational Waves from Collapsing Vacuum Domains
The breaking of an approximate discrete symmetry, the final stages of a first order phase transition, or a postinflationary biased probability distribution for scalar fields are possible cosmological scenarios characterized by the presence of unstable domain wall networks. Combining analytical and numerical techniques, we show that the non-spherical collapse of these domains can be a powerful s...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Waves in the Vacuum with Torsion and Spin
New time dependent wave solutions to the classical homogeneous Maxwell equations in the vacuum have been found. These waves are not transverse; they exhibit both torsion and spin; they have ̄nite magnetic helicity, A ± B 6= 0, a non-zero Poynting vector, E £H 6= 0;and a non zero second Poincare invariant, E ± B 6= 0: Two four component rank 3 tensors, constructed on topological grounds in terms ...
متن کاملOn the integrability of spherical gravitational waves in vacuum
The general class of Robinson-Trautman metrics that describe gravitational radiation in the exterior of bounded sources in four space-time dimensions is shown to admit zero curvature formulation in terms of appropriately chosen two-dimensional gauge connections. The result, which is valid for either type II or III metrics, implies that the gravitational analogue of the Lienard-Wiechert fields o...
