Catalogue of Spacetimes

Thomas Müller, Frank Grave

The Catalogue of Spacetimes is a collection of four-dimensional Lorentzian spacetimes in the context of the General Theory of Relativity (GR). The aim of the catalogue is to give a quick reference for students who need some basic facts of the most well-known spacetimes in GR. For a detailed discussion of a metric, the reader is referred to the standard literature or the original articles.

Note that this catalogue is of cause no finished work. Any comments, ideas of improvement, or error reports are welcome.

The Catalogue

can be downloaded from the preprint server: arXiv:0904.4184v2 [gr-qc].
