Screen bundles of Lorentzian manifolds and some generalisations of \(pp\)-waves
Abstract: A pp-wave is a Lorentzian manifold with a parallel light-like vector field satisfying a certain curvature condition. We introduce generalisations of pp-waves, on one hand by allowing the vector field to be recurrent and on the other hand by weakening the curvature condition. These generalisations are related to the screen holonomy of the Lorentzian manifold. While pp-waves have a trivial screen holonomy there are no restrictions on the screen holonomy of the manifolds with the weaker curvature condition.
The paper studies Lorentzian manifolds \((M,g)\) which admit a recurrent light-like vector field \(X\). If Riem\((U,V)\) maps \(RX\) into \((RX)^\perp\) for all vectors \(U,V\) then \((M,g)\) is called a \(pr\)-wave spacetime. Here Riem denotes the Riemann curvature tensor. If Riem\( (U,V)\) maps \((RX)^\perp\) into \(RX\) then \((M,g)\) is said to have light-like hypersurface curvature. Both the new types generalize the well-known \(pp\)-wave spacetimes. The author derives alternative characterizations by holonomy properties and in terms of adapted coordinates.
