Abstract
A convenient framework is set up for constructing cylindrically symmetric solutions of the Einstein and the Einstein-Maxwell equations, and it is shown how a Hamiltonian density can be defined for space-times with cylindrical symmetry. Solutions are obtained that represent stationary monochromatic waves and satisfy all the requisite conditions of regularity. The case when the gravitational field is coupled with a perfect fluid in which the energy density is equal to the pressure is also briefly considered.
