Maarten van de Meent
We study the geometry generated by a massless cosmic string. We find that this is given by a Riemann flat spacetime with a conical singularity along the worldsheet of the string. T…

Piecewise Flat Gravitational Waves
Maarten van de Meent
We examine the continuum limit of the piecewise flat locally finite gravity model introduced by 't Hooft. In the linear weak field limit we find the energy--momentum tensor and met…
