The Potential of Fields in Einstein's Theory of Gravitation

Abstract

As another applications of NP formalism, the interaction of a type N gravitational field with a null electromagnetic field has been considered and a metric describing such situation has been obtained. Moreover, the symmetries of type N pure radiation fields have also been studied in detail.
