摘要：

The behavior of test electromagnetic waves on the Khan-Penrose colliding gravitational-wave spacetime is used to probe the nature of the quasiregular singularities present. It is argued that the divergence of stress-energy scalars for most wave modes makes these singularities unstable, converting them into scalar curvature singularities. However, a special subset of modes does not lead to divergence of stress-energy scalars at the singularities. In the presence of such modes the singularities should remain quasiregular in an exact back-reaction calculation, as confirmed in the colliding gravitational- and electromagnetic-wave spacetime of Chandrasekhar and Xanthopoulos. © 1990 The American Physical Society.
