The Distributional Stress–Energy Quadrupole and Gravitational Waves

In this overview, we discuss the (Schwartz) distributional stress–energy quadrupole and show it is a source of gravitational waves. We provide an explicit formula for the metric of linearised gravity in the case of a background Minkowski spacetime. We compare and contrast the two different represent...
