Phys. Rev. D 58, 081501(R) (1998) [4 pages]Chaos in pp-wave spacetimes
We demonstrate the chaotic behavior of timelike, null, and spacelike geodesics in nonhomogeneous vacuum pp-wave solutions by analytic and fractal methods. This seems to be the first known example of a chaotic motion in exact radiative spacetime. © 1998 The American Physical Society URL:
