Secondary gravitational waves against a strong gravitational wave in the Bianchi VI universe

A proper-time method for constructing models of dynamic gravitational-wave fields is presented. Using the proper-time method, analytical (not numerical) models of secondary gravitational waves are constructed as perturbative solutions of linearized field equations against the background of the exact wave solution of Einstein's equations for the vacuum in the Bianchi VI universe in a privileged wave coordinate system. Relations for the proper time of test particles against the background of a strong gravitational wave are used. The analytical form of the metric components for secondary gravitational waves is found from compatibility conditions for the field equations. From the field equations, an explicit form of ordinary differential equations and their solutions is obtained for functions included in small corrections to the metric for secondary gravitational waves. It is shown that there exists a continuum of gravitational wave parameters for which the perturbative solutions are stable.

Exact model of gravitational wave and pure radiation

An exact non-perturbative model of a gravitational wave with pure radiation is constructed. It is shown that the presence of dust matter in this model contradicts Einstein's field equations. Exact solution of Einstein equations for gravitational wave and pure radiation is obtained. The trajectories of propagation and characteristics of radiation are found. For the considered exact model of a gravitational wave, a retardet time equation for radiation is obtained. The obtained results are used to construct an exact model of gravitational wave and pure radiation for Bianchi type IV universe.

Propagation of light and retarded time of radiation in a strong gravitational wave

For the strong gravitational wave model, an explicit transformation is obtained from a privileged coordinate system with a wave variable to a synchronous reference frame with separation of time and space variables. In a synchronous reference frame, a general form of the gravitational wave metric, solutions to the equations of trajectories for test particles in the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism, a solution to the eikonal equation for radiation, and a form of equations for the light cone of an observer in a gravitational wave were found. Using the obtained relations, the form the retarded time of radiation in the gravitational wave was found. The general relations obtained can be applied both in Einstein general theory of relativity and in modified theories of gravity. The obtained relations were applied in the work for an exact model of a gravitational wave in the Bianchi type VI universe based on an exact solution of Einstein vacuum equations.

Induced electromagnetic radiation from a charged cloud in a plane gravitational wave

For the perturbative model of a plane gravitational wave on a flat background of Minkowski space-time, electromagnetic radiation from a charged cloud in the field of a gravitational wave, detected by a remote observer, was found. It is shown that the charge density in the cloud does not change, and the radiation is generated by currents induced by the gravitational wave. The angular distribution of the radiation is obtained. If the refractive index of the cloud medium is greater than unity, Cherenkov-type radiation is generated.

Variables separation in gravity

To solve the problem of exact integration of the field equations or equations of motion of matter in curved spacetimes one can use a class of Riemannian metrics for which the simplest equations of motion can be integrated by the complete separation of variables method. Here, we consider the particular case of the class of Stackel metrics. These metrics admit integration of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for test particle by the complete separation of variables method. It appears that the other important equations of motion (Klein-Gordon-Fock, Dirac, Weyl) in curved spacetimes can be integrated by complete separation of variables method only for the metrics, belonging to the class of Stackel spaces.
