Abstract

A gyraton is an object moving with the speed of light and having finite energy and internal angular momentum (spin). First, we derive the gravitational field of a gyraton in the linear approximation. After this we study solutions of the Einstein equations for gyratons. We demonstrate that these solutions in 4 and higher dimensions reduce to two linear problems in a Euclidean space. We obtain the exact solutions for relativistic gyratons, discuss their properties, and consider special examples.
