Exact gravitational plane waves and two-dimensional gravity
We discuss dynamical aspects of gravitational plane waves in Einstein theory with massless scalar fields. The general analytic solution describes colliding gravitational waves with constant polarization, which interact with scalar waves and, for generic initial data, produce a spacetime singularity...
