Higher Dimensional Bell-Szekeres Metric
arXiv:gr-qc/0305105 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.68.084007
Abstract
The collision of pure electromagnetic plane waves with collinear polarization in N-dimensional (N=2+n) Einstein-Maxwell theory is considered. A class of exact solutions for the higher dimensional Bell-Szekeres metric is obtained and its singularity structure is examined.
