Peeling Property of Bondi-Sachs metrics for nonzero Cosmological Constant

Abstract

In this paper, we show that the peeling property still holds for Bondi-Sachs metrics with nonzero cosmological constant under the boundary condition given by Sommerfeld's radiation condition together with three nontrivial Λ\Lambda-independent functions BB, aa, bb. This should indicate the new boundary condition is natural. Moreover, we construct some nonstationary vacuum Bondi-Sachs metrics without Bondi news, which Newmann-Penrose quantities fall faster than usual. This provides a new feature of gravitational waves for nonzero cosmological constant.
