✦ Synopsis

In three spacetime dimensions, the Einstein equations imply that source-free regions are flat. Localized sources can therefore only affect geometry globally rather than locally. Some of these effects, especially those generated by mass and angular momentum are discussed.

We consider existence of three-dimensional gravity waves traveling along a channel of variable depth. It is well known that the long-wave small-amplitude expansion for such waves results in the stationary Korteweg-de Vries equation, coefficients of which depend on the transverse topography of the ch
