Fermi Coordinates and Penrose Limits
Matthias Blau, Denis Frank, Sebastian Weiss
We propose a formulation of the Penrose plane wave limit in terms of null Fermi coordinates. This provides a physically intuitive (Fermi coordinates are direct measures of geodesic…

Scalar Field Probes of Power-Law Space-Time Singularities
Matthias Blau, Denis Frank, Sebastian Weiss
We analyse the effective potential of the scalar wave equation near generic space-time singularities of power-law type (Szekeres-Iyer metrics) and show that the effective potential…
