Beschreibung
The book is about exact space-time models of the gravitational fields produced by gravitational radiation. The authors’ extensive work in the field is reviewed in order to stimulate the study of such models, that have been known for a long time, and to highlight interesting physical aspects of the existing models in some novel detail. There is an underlying simplicity to the gravitational radiation studied in this book. Apart from the basic assumption that the radiation has clearly identifiable wave fronts, the gravitational waves studied are directly analogous to electromagnetic waves. The book is meant for advanced students and researchers who have a knowledge of general relativity sufficient to carry out research in the field.

“The book is well written and undoubtedly in touch with the current research on gravitational waves. Considering the addressed topic, it surely represents a concise, useful tool for students and researchers in the field of general relativity and gravitational radiation.” (Francesco Sorge, Mathematical Reviews, February, 2024)
