Gravitational radiation offers a unique possibility to study the large-scale structure of the Universe, gravitational wave sources and propagation in a completely novel way. Given that gravitational wave maps contain a wealth of…

In odd space-time dimensions, the retarded solution of the massless wave equation has support not only on the light cone, but also inside it. At the same time, a free massless field should propagate at the speed of light. The apparent…
