Abstract

A metric containing a parameter ε (ε2 = 1) has been derived which represents axially symmetric source-free electromagnetic fields in a static Einstein universe when ε is put equal to 1. The same metric represents the source-free electromagnetic fields in a Gödel rotating universe when ε is put equal to-1. Many known solutions are obtained as particular cases.
