Conformal symmetries and integrals of the motion in pp waves with external electromagnetic fields
K. Andrzejewski, N. Dimakis, M. Elbistan +3
The integrals of the motion associated with conformal Killing vectors of a curved space-time with an additional electromagnetic background are studied for massive particles. They i…
Particle motion in circularly polarized vacuum pp waves
P-M. Zhang, M. Elbistan, P. A. Horvathy
Bialynicki-Birula and Charzynski argued that a gravitational wave emitted during the merger of a black hole binary may be approximated by a circularly polarized wave which may in t…
Lukash plane waves, revisited
M. Elbistan, P. M. Zhang, G. W. Gibbons +1
The Lukash metric is a homogeneous gravitational wave which at late times approximates the behaviour of a generic class of spatially homogenous cosmological models with monotonical…
Decay of the vortex muon
Pengcheng Zhao, Igor P. Ivanov, Pengming Zhang
Muon decay is self-analyzing: the spectral-angular distribution of the emitted electron reveals the spin orientation of the polarized muon. Here, we show that the same feature appl…
