Abstract

The structure of weak, plane, null gravitational waves is obtained for any metric theory of gravity. In general, six polarization states are present, which reduce to three (spin 0, ±2) if the theory is to be quantizable. Schemes for obtaining the polarization amplitudes, as well as the direction and velocity of a wave, are presented.
