Colliding String Waves and Duality
The collision of plane waves corresponding to massless states of closed string is considered in D-dimensional space-time. The reduced tree level effective action is known to be manifestly O(d, d) invariant, d being the number of transverse spatial dimensions in the collision process. We adopt a coset space reformulation of the effective two dimensional theory and discuss the relation of this pr...
متن کاملTwo-flux Colliding Plane Waves in String Theory
We construct the two-flux colliding plane wave solutions in higher dimensional gravity theory with dilaton, and two complementary fluxes. Two kinds of solutions has been obtained: Bell-Szekeres(BS) type and homogeneous type. After imposing the junction condition, we find that only Bell-Szekeres type solution is physically well-defined. Furthermore, we show that the future curvature singularity ...
متن کاملColliding axisymmetric pp-waves
An exact solution is found describing the collision of a class of axisymmetric pp-waves. They are impulsive in character and their coordinate singularities become point curvature singularities at the boundaries of the interaction region. The solution is conformally flat. Concrete examples are given, involving an ultrarelativistic black hole against a burst of pure radiation or two colliding bea...
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 impulsive waves in succession.
In a recent paper' we have introduced the formulation of the problem of colliding superposed waves in general relativity. Being unable to present an exact solution, we have constructed the proper initial data in the incoming regions. The formation of an essential and therefore impenetrable singularity, however, by the collision of the very first front waves raises the question of whether a phys...
