Classification of static cylindrically symmetric space-times

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

A complete classification of static, cylindrically symmetric space-times according to their isometries and metrics (or classes of metrics) is obtained. Metrics with their Killing vectors and their Lie algebras are given explicitly.
