Killing vectors of vacuum space times and electromagnetic four potentials

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

A conjecture is formulated about the connection between isometries of vacuum space times and the existence of corresponding space times with electromagnetic fields for which the structure of electromagnetic four potentials is readily predicted. One example is presented showing how this conjecture works, three others are only commented.
