We derive an asymptotic solution of the Einstein field equations which describes the propagation of a thin, large amplitude gravitational wave into a curved spacetime. The resulting equations have the same form as the colliding plane wave equations without one of the usual constraint equations.

Abstract
We derive an asymptotic solution of the Einstein field equations which describes the propagation of a thin, large amplitude gravitational wave into a curved spacetime. The resulting equations have the same form as the colliding plane wave equations without one of the usual constraint equations.File in questo prodotto:
