This collision is described by an exact solution of Einsteins equations in a vacuum which is generated from a nondiagonal seed by means of a soliton transformation. The effect produced by the soliton on the amplitude and polarization of the wave is considered.8 p.application/pdfeng(c) The American Physical Society, 1987Relativitat general (Física)GravitacióOnes gravitacionalsSolitonsCol·lisions (Física nuclear)Equacions d'EinsteinGeneral relativity (Physics)GravitationGravitational wavesSolitonsCollisions (Nuclear physics)Einstein field equationsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article60517info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
