Classifying geometries in general relativity III: classification in practice

Classifying geometries in general relativity III: classification in practice
Classifying geometries in general relativity III: classification in practice
This is the third in a series of papers concerning a project to set up a computer database of exact solutions in general relativity which can be accessed and updated by the user community. In this paper, we describe how the Cartan-Karlhede method for classifying a geometry is accomplished in practice. We give as an example the classification of the Edgar-Lugwig conformally flat pure radiation metrics.

Abstract

This is the third in a series of papers concerning a project to set up a computer database of exact solutions in general relativity which can be accessed and updated by the user community. In this paper, we describe how the Cartan-Karlhede method for classifying a geometry is accomplished in practice. We give as an example the classification of the Edgar-Lugwig conformally flat pure radiation metrics.
