Vacuum solutions of Einstein's equations in double-null coordinates

Charles L. Curry, Kayll Lake

Open full text 9 citations

Abstract

For four-dimensional spacetimes with 2-spaces of constant curvature, the authors present a complete list of solutions of Einstein's vacuum field equations with nonzero cosmological constant. All solutions requiring a regular extension are given in manifestly regular double-null coordinates.
