Gravitational waves in the linear approximation propagate in the Schwarzschild spacetime similarly as electromagnetic waves. A fraction of the radiation scatters off the curvature of the geometry. The energy of the backscattered part of an…
All non-twisting Petrov-type N solutions of vacuum Einstein field equations with cosmological constant Lambda are summarized. They are shown to belong either to the non-expanding Kundt class or to the expanding Robinson-Trautman class.…
A quasielastic model of gravitation is developed. Gravitational field is modeled by the flow of the transient point dilatation, which is supposed to be continually emitted by a discontinuity of the turbulent fluid. Gravitational attraction…
We develop a unified description, via the Boltzmann equation, of damping of gravitational waves by matter, incorporating collisions. We identify two physically distinct damping mechanisms -- collisional and Landau damping. We first consider…
The recent observation of gravitational waves, stimulates the question of the longtime evolution of the space-time fluctuations. Gravitational waves interact themselves through the nonlinear character of Einstein's equations of general…
In general relativity (GR), linearized gravitational waves propagating in empty Minkowski spacetime along a fixed spatial direction have the property that the wave front is the Euclidean plane. Beyond the linear regime, exact plane waves in…
The cosmological stochastic gravitational-wave background produced by the mildly non-linear evolution of density fluctuations is analyzed, in the frame of an Einstein-de Sitter model, by means of a fully relativistic perturbation expansion…
Gravitational waves and cosmic expansion are both described in terms of Einstein's general relativity. This article explores the similarities between the two phenomena, as well as some differences, using the fundamental concept of the…
A conserved stress energy tensor for weak field gravitational waves propagating in vacuum is derived directly from the linearized wave equation alone, for an arbitrary gauge using standard general relativity. In any harmonic gauge, the form…
In this work, the dynamic of isolated systems in general relativity is described when gravitational radiation and electromagnetic fields are present. In this construction, the asymptotic fields received at null infinity together with the…
Applying a simple harmonic map method to the cylindrically symmetric Einstein-Maxwell system, we obtain exact solutions representing strong nonlinear interaction between gravitational waves and electromagnetic waves in the case without any…
When two non-interacting plane impulsive gravitational waves undergo a head-on collision, the vacuum interaction region between the waves after the collision contains backscattered gravitational radiation from both waves. The two systems of…
The existence of scalar fields can be probed by observations of stochastic gravitational waves. Scalar fields mediate attractive forces, usually stronger than gravity, on the length scales shorter than their Compton wavelengths, which can…
In this work we present an approximate solution of the Einstein equations describing a global model for the gravitational field generated by a bounded, self-gravitating stationary and axisymmetric body rotating rigidly with constant angular…
The description of gravitational waves as explosion and implosion waves as predicted by Weber and Wheeler [{\it Rev. Mod. Phys. {\bf 29} 509 (1957)}] in Einstein and Rosen spacetime, has recently been confirmed following observations by the…
The emission of gravitational waves from a system of massive objects interacting on elliptical, hyperbolic and parabolic orbits is studied in the quadrupole approximation. Analytical expressions are then derived for the gravitational wave…
Starting from the hydrostatic Boussinesq equations, we derive a time-averaged `hydrostatic wave equation' that describes the propagation of inertia-gravity internal waves through quasi-geostrophic flow. The derivation uses a…
An important concept in Physics is the notion of an isolated system. It is used in many different areas to describe the properties of a physical system which has been isolated from its environment. The interaction with the `outside' is then…
Gravitational waves are radiative solutions of space-time dynamics predicted by Einstein's theory of General Relativity. A world-wide array of large-scale and highly sensitive interferometric detectors constantly scrutinizes the geometry of…
Gravitational waves (GWs) are direct probes of cosmological gravity, sensitive to space-time inhomogeneities along their propagation. The presence of massive objects breaks homogeneity and isotropy, allowing for new interactions between…
