Freely falling bodies in a standing-wave spacetime
arXiv:2010.12549 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.103.024011
Abstract
We study the motion of free masses subject to the influence of standing gravitational waves in the polarized Gowdy cosmology with a three-torus topology. We show that antinodes attract freely falling particles and we trace the velocity memory effect.
