Cylindrical gravitational waves: radiation and resonance

英文摘要：

In the weak field approximation the gravitational wave is approximated as a linear wave, which ignores the nonlinear effect. In this paper, we present an exact general solution of the cylindrical gravitational wave. The exact solution of the cylindrical gravitational wave is far different from the weak field approximation. This solution implies the following conclusions. (1) There exist gravitational monopole radiations in the cylindrical gravitational radiation. (2) The gravitational radiation may generate the resonance in the spacetime. (3) The nonlinearity of the gravity source vanishes after time averaging, so the observed result of a long-time measurement may be linear.
