Abstract: Similar to the Schwarzschild coordinates for spherical black holes, the Baldwin, Jeffery and Rosen (BJR) coordinates for plane gravitational waves are often singular, and extensions beyond such singularities are necessary, before studying asymptotic properties of… read more here.

Abstract: The isometries of an exact plane gravitational wave are symmetries for both massive and massless particles. Their conformal extensions are in fact chrono-projective transformations introduced earlier by Duval et al are symmetries for massless particles.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1134/s020228931803009x
Abstract: It is shown that in the passage of a short burst of nonlinear plane gravitational wave, the kinetic energy of free particles may either decrease or increase. The decrease or increase of the kinetic energy… read more here.
