Rainich-Type Conditions For Null Electrovacuum Spacetimes I, Charles G. Torre
Rainich-Type Conditions For Null Electrovacuum Spacetimes I, Charles G. Torre
Research Vignettes
In this worksheet I describe local Rainich-type conditions on a spacetime geometry which are necessary and sufficient for the existence of a solution of the Einstein-Maxwell equations with a null electromagnetic field. When it exists, the electromagnetic field is easily constructed.
