用引力波产生宇宙学常数

Generating a Cosmological Constant with Gravitational Waves

C. Barrabès, P. A. Hogan

摘要:

本文给出了一种方法来导出描述两个均匀平面电磁冲击波迎头碰撞后时空和麦克斯韦场的Einstein-Maxwell真空场方程的著名Bell-Szekeres解。然后利用这种技术的类似物来构造两个均匀的平面引力冲击波迎头碰撞后的引力场的时空模型。后一次碰撞之后是一对脉冲引力波和一对相互远离的光壳,它提供了一种产生宇宙学常数的机制,这在暗能量的理论描述中可能很重要。

英文摘要:

A technique is given to derive the well known Bell-Szekeres solution of the Einstein-Maxwell vacuum field equations describing the space-time and the Maxwell field following the head-on collision of two homogeneous, plane, electromagnetic shock waves. The analogue of this technique is then utilized to construct the space-time model of the gravitational field following the head-on collision of two homogeneous, plane, gravitational shock waves. The latter collision, which is followed by a pair of impulsive gravitational waves and a pair of light like shells traveling away from each other, provides a mechanism for generating a cosmological constant which may be important in the theoretical description of dark energy.
