Abstract
We discuss the possibility that gravitational fluctuations ("gravitational-waves") are trapped in space by gravitational interactions in two dimensional Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. In the standard geon (gravitational electromagnetic entity) approach, the effective energy is entirely deposited in a thin layer, the active region, that achieves spatial self-confinement and raises doubts about the geon's stability. In this paper we relinquish the "active region" approach and obtain self-confinement of "gravitational waves" that are trapped by the vacuum geometry and can be stable against the backreaction due to metric fluctuations.
