From pp-Waves to Galilean Spacetimes
Abstract
We exhibit all spatially isotropic homogeneous Galilean spacetimes of dimension (n+1) ≥ 4, including the novel torsional ones, as null reductions of homogeneous pp-wave spacetimes. We also show that the pp-waves are sourced by pure radiation fields and analyse their global properties.
