Integration using invariant operators: conformally flat radiation metrics
Integration using invariant operators: conformally flat radiation metrics
A new method is presented for obtaining the general conformally flat radiation metric by using the differential operators of Machado Ramos and Vickers (a generalization of those of Geroch, Held and Penrose) which are invariant under null rotations and rescalings. The solution is found by constructing involutive tables of these derivatives applied to the quantities which arise in the Karlhede classification of this class of metrics.

Abstract
A new method is presented for obtaining the general conformally flat radiation metric by using the differential operators of Machado Ramos and Vickers (a generalization of those of Geroch, Held and Penrose) which are invariant under null rotations and rescalings. The solution is found by constructing involutive tables of these derivatives applied to the quantities which arise in the Karlhede classification of this class of metrics.
