摘要

The Newman-Unti-Tamburino (NUT) solution is characterized as the unique Petrov Type D vacuum metric such that the two double principal null directions form an integrable distribution. The uniqueness of the NUT is established by evaluating the integrability conditions of the Newman-Penrose equations up to \(SL(2,\mathbb {C})\) S L ( 2 , C ) transformations, resulting in a coordinate-free characterization of the solution.
