Plane-fronted gravitational and electromagnetic waves in spaces with cosmological constant

István Ozsváth, Ivor Robinson, Krzysztof Rózga

Abstract

Plane-fronted waves in spaces with nonzero cosmological constant are studied. In particular their complete classification, which depends essentially on the sign of the cosmological constant and that of some second-order invariant determined by the congruence of null rays, is provided.
