Gravitational and electromagnetic fields near an anti de Sitter like infinity
Abstract
We analyze the asymptotic structure of general gravitational and electromagnetic fields near an anti de Sitter like conformal infinity. The dependence of the radiative component of the fields on a null direction along which the infinity is approached is obtained. The directional pattern of outgoing and ingoing radiation, which supplements standard peeling property, is determined by the algebraic (Petrov) type of the fields and also by the orientation of the principal null directions with respect to timelike infinity. The dependence on the orientation is a new feature if compared to spacelike infinity.
