Abstract |
The algebraic structure based on a null alignment of the Weyl tensor of expanding Robinson-Trautman and non-expanding Kundt geometries is analyzed in an arbitrary dimension. Explicit conditions for all possible algebraic types are identified. Since the expansion parameter is directly kept in all expressions, it can be simply set to zero to obtain results for the Kundt class. Usefulness of this completely general results for non-twist and shear-free geometries in any metric theory of gravitation are demonstrated on specific solutions to the Einstein field equations. |
