Ultrarelativistic limit of the boosted Schwarzschild metric away from the null plane

ID: ultrarelativistic-limit-of-the-boosted-schwarzschild-metric-away-from-the-null-plane

Boost a Schwarzschild mass with speed and hold fixed as . Away from the null plane , the isotropic-coordinate expression tends to
The complete distributional limit on the null plane requires the additional coordinate treatment that produces the Aichelburg-Sexl shock wave.
