Tóm tắt

A homogeneous Hilbert (Riemann) problem (HHP) is introduced for carrying out the Kinnersley–Chitre transformations of the set V of all axially symmetric stationary vacuum spacetimes, and the spacetimes which are like the axially symmetric stationary ones except that both Killing vectors are spacelike. A proof, which is independent of the Kinnersley–Chitre formalism, establishes that the HHP transforms the potential (for certain closed self-dual 2 forms) F0(x, t) of any given member of V into the potential F (x, t) of another member of V. Two illustrative examples involving the Minkowski space F0(x, t) are given. The representation used for the Geroch group K, the singularities and gauge of the potentials, and possible applications of the HHP are discussed.
