A Plane Symmetric Gravitational Wave Solution Admitting a Null Homothety |
|
Abstract |
Most of the known Gravitational wave solutions appear as a result of inducting small perturbations on Minkowski spacetime. Here an exact solution will be discussed which admits minimal plane symmetric isometry group along with a null homothetic vector field. It has a line singularity and turns out to be of Petrov type D. A complete solution of its geodesic equations will also be presented. |
