Plane Parallel Waves, Brans-Dicke Waves
Scientific paper
It is pointed out that scalar-tensor theories of gravity admit solutions
in which the metric is Minkowskian although the scalar and matter fields
do not vanish. Explicit pp-wave solutions of the Brans-Dicke-Maxwell
theory are presented. These include solutions with metrics that are flat
or Ricci flat even though the Maxwell and scalar fields are non-zero.
