Abstract

The authors analyse the asymptotic behaviour at past and future null infinity of several scalars and observable quantities in vacuum Einstein-Rosen solitary-like waves. They construct an explicit example and, in all cases, they find a time shift of the corresponding amplitudes as compared with, for example, the propagation of massless 'test' particles. The magnitude of the shift depends on the quantity considered but in all cases it increases monotonically with the C-energy or, equivalently, the deficit angle at infinity, growing indefinitely as the deficit angle approaches 2 pi .
