- Title
Can a Gravitational Wave and a Magnetic Monopole Coexist?
- Authors
Abe, Osamu; Tabata, Osamu
- Abstract
We investigate the behavior of small perturbations around the Kaluza-Klein monopole in the five-dimensional space-time. We find that the even parity gravitational wave does not propagate in the five-dimensional space-time with Kaluza-Klein monopole provided that the gravitational wave is constant in the fifth direction. We conclude that a gravitational wave and a U(1) magnetic monopole do not coexist in five-dimensional Kaluza-Klein space-time.
