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 ...

A general class of Lorentzian metrics, M0 × R 2 , ·, ·z = ·, ·x + 2 du dv + H(x, u) du 2 , with (M0, ·, ·x) any Riemannian mani-fold, 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 or causal character of connecting geodesics. These result...
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.
متن کاملExact Solutions of Noncommutative Vacuum Einstein Field Equations and Plane-fronted Gravitational Waves
We construct a class of exact solutions of the noncommutative vacuum Einstein field equations, which are noncommutative analogues of the plane-fronted gravitational waves in classical gravity.
متن کاملCausality and Conjugate Points in General Plane Waves
Let M = M0 × R be a pp–wave type spacetime endowed with the metric 〈·, ·〉z = 〈·, ·〉x + 2 du dv + H(x, u) du, where (M0, 〈·, ·〉x) is any Riemannian manifold and H(x, u) an arbitrary function. We show that the behaviour of H(x, u) at spatial infinity determines the causality of M, say: (a) if −H(x, u) behaves subquadratically (i.e, essentially −H(x, u) ≤ R1(u)|x|2− for some > 0 and large distance...
