Abstract

Plane gravitational waves are here defined to be non-flat solutions of Einstein’s empty spacetime field equations which admit as much symmetry as do plane electromagnetic waves, namely, a 5-parameter group of motions. A general plane-wave metric is written down and the properties of plane wave space-times are studied in detail. In particular, their characterization as 4 plane ’ is justified further by the construction of 4 sandwich waves ’ bounded on both sides by (null) hyperplanes in flat space-time. It is shown that the passing of a sandwich wave produces a relative acceleration in free test particles, and inferred from this that such waves transport energy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
