The stability of Killing–Cauchy horizons in colliding plane wave space-times
preprint
posted on 2005-08-17, 10:00 authored by Jerry GriffithsIt is confirmed rigorously that the Killing–Cauchy horizons, which sometimes occur in spacetimes
representing the collision and subsequent interaction of plane gravitational waves in
a Minkowski background, are unstable with respect to bounded perturbations of the initial
waves, at least for the case in which the initial waves have constant aligned polarizations.
