Analytical solution of Brill waves
Abstract
A class of analytical solutions of axially symmetric vacuum initial data for a self-gravitating system has been found. The active region of the constructed gravitational wave is a thin torus around which the solution is conformally flat. For higher values of gravitational wave amplitude the resulting hypersurface contains apparent horizons.
