Ozváth-Schücking metric

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Einstein's theory of general relativity, the Ozsváth-Schücking metric (or the Ozsváth-Schücking solution) is a rotating vacuum solution to the field equations, discovered by I. Ozsváth and E. Schücking in 1962.

In Cartesian coordinates the metric has the form

ds² = − 2[(x² − y²)cos(2t) − 2xysin(2t)]dt² + dx² + dy² − 2dtdz.
