Abstract

We propose a new method for the construction of injections into classical Lie algebras. This method is very useful for the analysis of vacuum solutions in Kaluza-Klein models. With the help of the proposed procedure, one can obtain all the known solutions as well as a new one explicitly constructed in this letter.
