In general relativity, the Weyl metrics (named after the German-American mathematician Hermann Weyl) refer to the class of ''static'' and ''axisymmetric'' solutions to Einstein's field equation. Three members in the renowned Kerr–Newman family solutions, namely the Schwarzschild, nonextremal Reissner–Nordström and extremal Reissner–Nordström metrics, can be identified as Weyl-type metrics. ==Standard Weyl metrics== The Weyl class of solutions has the generic form〔Jeremy Bransom Griffiths, Jiri Podolsky. ''Exact Space-Times in Einstein's General Relativity''. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2009. Chapter 10.〕〔Hans Stephani, Dietrich Kramer, Malcolm MacCallum, Cornelius Hoenselaers, Eduard Herlt. ''Exact Solutions of Einstein's Field Equations''. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2003. Chapter 20.〕 where and are two metric potentials dependent on ''Weyl's canonical coordinates'' . The coordinate system serves best for symmetries of Weyl's spacetime (with two Killing vector fields being and ) and often acts like cylindrical coordinates,〔 but is ''incomplete'' when describing a black hole as only cover the horizon and its exteriors. Hence, to determine a static axisymmetric solution corresponding to a specific stress–energy tensor , we just need to substitute the Weyl metric Eq(1) into Einstein's equation (with c=G=1): and work out the two functions and . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Weyl metrics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
