On Integrating the Left-Flat Vacuum Einstein Equations

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2015-06-15 v2

Abstract

Considering the spin-coefficient version of the left-flat vacuum Einstein equations, all but one of the fifty equations can be explicitly integrated via the introduction of five spin-weight s=-2 complex potentials. The final equation is a non-linear wave equation for the last of the potentials. Solutions to this equation determine solutions for the entire system. Solutions for several special cases are obtained
