The Trautman Problem of Information Transfer, the Problem of Energy Transfer by Gravitational Waves and the Status of the Poincare Gauge Theory of Gravity

Abstract

The transfer of information is one of the problems of the propagation of gravitational waves in connection with the prospect of the possible use of high-frequency gravitational waves for the creation of space communications. The requirements for information transfer are formulated in the form of the Trautman problem, which defines the conditions under which gravitational waves invariantly transfer the information contained in them. The second problem of the propagation of gravitational waves is the problem of energy-momentum transfer, which is not solved in general relativity, but can be solved in the punch of the gauge theory of gravity, for which the “criterion of strong localization of the energy-momentum of the gravitational field” is formulated. The features of two approaches in the Poincare gauge theory of gravity are discussed.
