Behavior of Einstein-Rosen Waves at Null Infinity

Abstract

The asymptotic behavior of Einstein-Rosen waves at null infinity in 4 dimensions is investigated in {\it all} directions by exploiting the relation between the 4-dimensional space-time and the 3-dimensional symmetry reduction thereof. Somewhat surprisingly, the behavior in a generic direction is {\it better} than that in directions orthogonal to the symmetry axis. The geometric origin of this difference can be understood most clearly from the 3-dimensional perspective.
