Colliding EM Waves that Admit Separable Wave Equation

Halilsoy, Mustafa (General Relativity and Gravitation, Springer, 1994)

We show that the massive wave equation is separable in two particular colliding Einstein-Maxwell waves space-times. The first is the type D metric of Chandrasekhar and Xanthopoulos whereas the second is the doubly ...
Interacting Electromagnetic Shock Waves in General Relativity

Halilsoy, Mustafa (Nuovo Cimento B, Societa Italiana di Fisica, 1987)

We study the interacting electromagnetic shock waves with nonconstant profiles in general relativity. It is shown that by modifying the metric functions of the Bell-Szekeres solution, such solutions can be obtained.
Note on ‘‘Large family of colliding waves in the Einstein–Maxwell theory’’

Halilsoy, Mustafa (Journal of Mathematical Physics, American Isntitute of Physics (AIP), 1993)

As a supplementary to the general class of solutions published in this journal [J. Math. Phys. 31, 2694 (1990)] we remark that for a specific choice of our seed function we obtain an interesting solution which reduces ...
