A Homogeneous Solution Of The Einstein-Maxwell Equations, Charles G. Torre
A Homogeneous Solution Of The Einstein-Maxwell Equations, Charles G. Torre
Research Vignettes
We exhibit and analyze a homogeneous spacetime whose source is a pure radiation electromagnetic field [1]. It was previously believed that this spacetime is the sole example of a homogeneous pure radiation solution of the Einstein equations which admits no electromagnetic field (see [2] and references therein). Here we correct this error in the literature by explicitly displaying the electromagnetic source. This result implies that all homogeneous pure radiation spacetimes satisfy the Einstein-Maxwell equations.
