A Coordinate-free Approach to Obtaining Exact Solutions in General Relativity: The Newman-Unti-Tamburino Solution Revisited
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
