Gowdy universes or, alternatively, Gowdy solutions of
Einstein's equations
In the general theory of relativity, the Einstein field equations (EFE; also known as Einstein's equations) relate the geometry of spacetime to the distribution of matter within it.
The equations were published by Einstein in 1915 in the form ...
are simple model
spacetimes in
general relativity which represent an
expanding universe filled with a regular pattern of
gravitational waves.
