Seminarium  pt.: Examples of standing gravitational waves in general relativity. Speaker: Sebastian Szybka (Jagiellonian University)

Place: room 42, ICTQT (Jana Bażyńskiego 1A)

Abstract:Standing waves are a quite common phenomenon in physics.They are well understood in linear theories. In Einstein’s gravity, which is a nonlinear theory, the lack of superposition principle complicates studies. I will present exact solutions to Einstein equations that correspond to standing gravitational waves. They provide useful toy-models that allow to investigate the phenomenon.
