Journal ArticleDOI
An Approach to Gravitational Radiation by a Method of Spin Coefficients
Ezra T. Newman,Roger Penrose +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a spinor affine connection is proposed for general relativity by means of a tetrad or spinor formalism, which is applied to two problems in radiationtheory; a concise proof of a theorem of Goldberg and Sachs and a description of the asymptotic behavior of the Riemann tensor and metric tensor, for outgoing gravitational radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metric of a Rotating, Charged Mass
TL;DR: In this article, a new solution of the Einstein-Maxwell equations is presented, which has certain characteristics that correspond to a rotating ring of mass and charge, similar to the one described in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Empty-Space Generalization of the Schwarzschild Metric
TL;DR: In this paper, a new class of empty space metrics is obtained, one member of this class being a natural generalization of the Schwarzschild metric, which contains one arbitrary parameter in addition to the mass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spin‐s Spherical Harmonics and ð
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship of the sTlm (θ, φ) to the spherical harmonics of R 4 is also indicated, and the behavior of sYlm under the conformal group of the sphere is shown to realize a representation of the Lorentz group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Note on the Bondi-Metzner-Sachs Group
Ezra T. Newman,Roger Penrose +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that, in space-times which are asymptotically flat, there are reasonable physical restrictionsthat allow one to impose coordinate conditions (in addition to the usual Bondi-type conditions) which restrict the allowed coordinate group to a subgroup of the Bondi Metzner-Sachsgroup.
