Chaotic motion in Kundt spacetimes
arXiv:0705.3098 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/24/13/016
Abstract
We demonstrate that geodesics in exact vacuum Kundt gravitational waves may exhibit a highly complicated behaviour. In fact, as in the previously studied case of non-homogeneous pp-waves, for specific choices of the structural function the motion appears to be genuinely chaotic. This fact is demonstrated by the fractal method.
