Gravitational shock waves of ultra-high energetic particles on curved spacetimes
We generalize the Dray and 't Hooft procedure to generate gravitational shock waves superimposed on curved background solutions of the vacuum Einstein equations in order to include sources and a non-zero cosmological constant for the backgrounds, and a charge for the shock waves (all that in D...

| Sumario: | We generalize the Dray and 't Hooft procedure to generate gravitational shock waves superimposed on curved background solutions of the vacuum Einstein equations in order to include sources and a non-zero cosmological constant for the backgrounds, and a charge for the shock waves (all that in D dimensions). We apply this generalization to the study of the gravitational shock wave of ultrarelativistic particles with kinetic and electromagnetic momenta p and pe in static spherically symmetric spacetimes and its effect on shifting the event horizon (the terms with p and pe give rise to different shifts). Examples of these shock waves on the Reissner-Nordstrom and the Schwarzschild-de Sitter (and Schwarzschild-anti de Sitter) spacetimes are considered. © 1989. |
