Classification Of Spacetimes With Symmetry, Jesse W. Hicks
Classification Of Spacetimes With Symmetry, Jesse W. Hicks
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Spacetimes with symmetry play a critical role in Einstein's Theory of General Relativity. Missing from the literature is a correct, usable, and computer accessible classification of such spacetimes. This dissertation fills this gap; specifically, we
i) give a new and different approach to the classification of spacetimes with symmetry using modern methods and tools such as the Schmidt method and computer algebra systems, resulting in ninety-two spacetimes;
ii) create digital databases of the classification for easy access and use for researchers;
iii) create software to classify any spacetime metric with symmetry against the new database;
iv) compare results of our …
