Asmptotically plane wave spacetimes

In this thesis we study aspects of plane wave spacetimes in the hope of shedding light of the nature of holography for plane waves. In particular, we would like to understand better the space of asymptotically plane wave solutions. We first review the necessary background on plane waves, variational...
