Cylindrically and toroidally symmetric solutions with a cosmological constant

Jiri Podolsky, Jerry B. Griffiths

Cylindrical-like coordinates for constant-curvature 3-spaces are introduced and discussed. This helps to clarify the geometrical properties, the coordinate ranges and the meaning o…

On the parameters of the Kerr-NUT-(anti-)de Sitter space-time

J. B. Griffiths, J. Podolsky

Different forms of the metric for the Kerr-NUT-(anti-)de Sitter space-time are being widely used in its extension to higher dimensions. The purpose of this note is to relate the pa…

The C-metric as a colliding plane wave space-time

J. B. Griffiths, R. G. Halburd

It is explicitly shown that part of the C-metric space-time inside the black hole horizon may be interpreted as the interaction region of two colliding plane waves with aligned lin…

Interpreting the C-metric

J. B. Griffiths, P. Krtous, J. Podolsky

The basic properties of the C-metric are well known. It describes a pair of causally separated black holes which accelerate in opposite directions under the action of forces repres…

Accelerating Kerr-Newman black holes in (anti-)de Sitter space-time

J. Podolsky, J. B. Griffiths

A class of exact solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations is presented which describes an accelerating and rotating charged black hole in an asymptotically de Sitter or anti-de…

The stability of Killing-Cauchy horizons in colliding plane wave space-times

J. B. Griffiths

It is confirmed rigorously that the Killing-Cauchy horizons, which sometimes occur in space-times representing the collision and subsequent interaction of plane gravitational waves…
