The Resolution of Ambiguities in Light Perturbation by Gravitational Waves

Abstract

Some previously published expressions for the perturbation of light by gravitational waves exhibit pathological behaviour in the limit of parallel propagation. We show that this is caused by similarly pathological initial or boundary data and can thus be remedied by implementing better-behaved initial conditions.
