Gravitational Waves of Type III Shapovalov Spacetimes: Particle Trajectories, Geodesic Deviation and Tidal Accelerations
arXiv:2210.04063 · doi:10.3390/sym15071455
Abstract
For gravitational-wave spacetimes of Shapovalov type III, exact general solutions of geodesic deviation equations and equations of motion of test particles are obtained. Solutions are found in a privileged coordinate system, where the metric of the considered spacetime models depends on the wave variable. The exact form of tidal accelerations of the gravitational wave is obtained. In the considered wave models of spacetime, the complete integral of the Hamilton-Jacobi equations of test particles can be constructed. An explicit form of the equations for the transition to a synchronous coordinate system is found, where the proper time of a test particle on the base geodesic is chosen as the time variable, and the time and space variables are separated. In the synchronous coordinate system, the form of the metric of the considered wave spacetime is presented, the form of the geodesic deviation vector and the tidal acceleration vector are obtained. The methods used in the paper and the results obtained are applicable to gravitational waves both in the general theory of relativity and in modified theories of gravity. The proposed approaches are applied to the case of Einstein's vacuum equations.
