First known example of chaos in an exact radiative spacetime.
Highlights complexity of gravitational wave spacetimes.
Abstract
We demonstrate chaotic behavior of timelike, null and spacelike geodesics in non-homogeneous vacuum pp-wave solutions. This seems to be the first known example of a chaotic motion in exact radiative spacetime.
