Impulsive gravitational waves generated by null particles in de Sitter and anti–de Sitter backgrounds

By boosting the metric of the Schwarzschild–de Sitter and Schwarzschild–anti-de Sitter space-times in the ultrarelativistic limit as the mass parameter vanishes, impulsive gravitational waves are obtained in backgrounds with a nonzero cosmological constant. We determine the geometry of these impulsi...
