[edit] Notation

I think the dots need to be replaced with notation used elsewhere in gtr related pages.---CH (talk) 00:19, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fix or delete?

What to do, what to do... User:Markdroberts has not been heard from since Sept 23, and this article is inadequate as it stands (no clear motivation for either "Lanczos tensor", or how the Lanczos potential is related to the rank three tensor from Hawking & Ellis, etc). ---CH 09:20, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

I might add that neither notion of Lanczos tensor seems to be widely used (Mark Roberts cited his own preprint, one of only two I can find, both by him, which use the Lanczos potential, not even in gtr but another theory). ---CH 18:53, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
