Classification of stationary axisymmetric gravitational fields

Классификация стационарных осесимметрических гравитационных полей

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1965-1970)

Summary

A gravitational stress tensor is defined for an arbitrary axisymmetric stationary metric, and the stationary solutions of Weyl, Lewis, Papapetrou, Kerr, Marek and Newman, Unti and Tamburino are classified by expressing them in a single canonical co-ordinate system.

Riassunto

Si definisce un tensore di sforzo gravitazionale per una metrica stazionaria a simmetria assiale, arbitraria, e si classificano le soluzioni stazionarie di Weyl, Lewis, Papapetrou, Kerr, Marek e Newman, Unti e Tamburino, esprimendole in un singolo sistema di coordinate canoniche.

Реэюме

Для проиэвольной стационарной осесимметрической метрики определяется гравитационный тенэор натяжений. Стационарные рещения Вейля, Льюиса, Папапетру, Керра, Марека и Ньюмана, Унти и Тамбурино классифицируются, посредством выражения их в системе одной канонической координаты.
