Canonical Formulation of pp-waves
Herbert Balasin, Peter Aichelburg
We construct a Hamiltonian formulation for the class of plane-fronted gravitational waves with parallel rays (pp-waves). Because of the existence of a light-like Killing vector, th…

The ultrarelativistic limit of 2D dilaton gravity and its energy momentum tensor
H. Balasin, D. Grumiller
The ultrarelativistic limit of twodimensional dilaton gravity is presented and its associated (anti-)selfdual energy momentum tensor is derived. It is localized on a null line, alt…

Head-on collision of ultrarelativistic charges
P. C. Aichelburg, H. Balasin
We consider the head-on collision of two opposite-charged point particles moving at the speed of light. Starting from the field of a single charge we derive in a first step the fie…
