Light waves carry along their own gravitational field; for simple plain electromagnetic waves the gravitational field takes the form of a pp-wave. I present the corresponding exact solution of the Einstein-Maxwell equations and discuss the…
We find new classes of exact solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell system of equations for a charged sphere with a particular choice of the electric field intensity and one of the gravitational potentials. The condition of pressure isotropy is…
We give the Lagrangian formulation of a generic non-minimally extended Einstein-Maxwell theory with an action that is linear in the curvature and quadratic in the electromagnetic field. We derive the coupled field equations by a first order…
Recently a simple solution of the vacuum Einstein-Maxwell field equations was given describing a plane electromagnetic shock wave sharing its wave front with a plane gravitational impulse wave. We present here an exact solution of the…
We show that the Maxwell equations describing an electromagnetic wave are a mathematical consequence of the Einstein equations for the same wave. This fact is significant for the problem of the Einsteinian metrics corresponding to the…
We present new exact solutions for the Einstein-Maxwell system in static spherically symmetric interior spacetimes. For a particular form of the gravitational potentials and the electric field intensity, it is possible to integrate the…
The field equations coupling a Seiberg-Witten electromagnetic field to noncommutative gravity, as described by a formal power series in the noncommutativity parameters $\theta^{\alpha\beta}$, is investigated. A large family of solutions, up…
A simple method is presented which enables us to construct scalar field solutions from any given Einstein-Maxwell solution in colliding plane waves. As an application we give scalar field extensions of the solution found by Hogan, Barrabes…
We study four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell fields for which any higher-order corrections to the field equations effectively reduces to just a rescaling of the gravitational and the cosmological constant. These configurations are thus…
A multidimensional gravitational model with several scalar fields and form fields is considered. A wide class of generalized pp-wave solutions defined on a product of n+1 Ricci-flat spaces is obtained. Certain examples of solutions (e.g. in…
In this paper, using the Newman-Penrose formalism, we find the Maxwell equations in NUT space and after separation into angular and radial components solve them analytically. All the angular equations are solved in terms of Jaccobi…
For the plane symmetry we have found the electro-vacuum exact solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations and we have shown that one of them is equivalent to the McVittie solution of a charged infinite thin plane. The analytical extension…
We present exact solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell system of equations in spherically symmetric gravitational fields with a specified form of the electric field intensity. The condition of pressure isotropy yields a difference equation with…
Five classes of radiative solutions of Einstein's field equations are discussed in the light of some new developments. These are plane waves and their collisions, cylindrical waves, Robinson-Trautman and type N spacetimes, boost-rotation…
We construct exact pp-wave solutions of ghost-free infinite derivative gravity and demonstrate that the sourceless theory does not bring any pp-wave solutions save for that of Einstein's gravity. These waves described in the Kerr-Schild…
We demonstrate a technique to generate new class of exact solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell system describing a static spherically symmetric relativistic star with anisotropic matter distribution. An interesting feature of the new class of…
A new class of exact solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell system is found in closed form. This is achieved by choosing a generalised form for one of the gravitational potentials and a particular form for the electric field intensity. For…
We obtain a new family of exact vacuum solutions to quadratic gravity that describe pp-waves with two-dimensional wave surfaces that can have any prescribed constant curvature. When the wave surfaces are flat we recover the Peres waves…
A new representation for solutions of Maxwell's equations is derived. Instead of being expanded in plane waves, the solutions are given as linear superpositions of spherical wavelets dynamically adapted to the Maxwell field and…
On the basis of the ordinary mathematical methods we discuss new classes of solutions of the Maxwell's equations discovered in the papers by D. Ahluwalia, M. Evans and H. M'unera et al.
