Einstein equations in the null quasi-spherical gauge
arXiv:gr-qc/9611045 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/14/8/017
Abstract
The structure of the full Einstein equations in a coordinate gauge based on expanding null hypersurfaces foliated by metric 2-spheres is explored. The simple form of the resulting equations has many applications -- in the present paper we describe the structure of timelike boundary conditions; the matching problem across null hypersurfaces; and the propagation of gravitational shocks.
