Generalized 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 کاملOn 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 کاملCosmic strings and strings in gravitational waves
We consider strings with the Nambu action as extremal surfaces in a given space-time, thus, we ignore their back reaction. Especially, we look for strings sharing one symmetry with the underlying space-time. If this is a non-null symmetry, the problem of determining the motion of the string can be dimensionally reduced. We get exact solutions for the following cases: straight and circle-like st...
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 کاملGravitational Waves from Cosmic Strings
Gravitational waves from cosmic strings are generated in the first fractions of a second after the Big Bang, potentially providing a unprecedented probe of the early universe. We discuss the key dynamical processes underlying calculations of the stochastic background produced by a string network and we detail the parameter dependencies of the resulting spectral density Ωgr(f). The present const...
