Finsler pp-waves and the Penrose Limit

Differential Geometry 2022-05-04 v1 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

The Penrose plane wave limit is a remarkable property of Lorentzian spacetimes. Here, we discuss its extension to Finsler spacetimes by introducing suitable lightlike coordinates and adapting the Lorentzian definition of pp-waves. New examples of such Finsler pp-waves are also presented.
