The Goldberg-Sachs theorem and the alignment condition for Einstein-Maxwell fields
Year: 2016
Type: preprint
Abstract: A new characterisation is given of the Garcia-Plebanski and Plebanski-Hacyan metrics within the family of non-null aligned Einstein-Maxwell fields with a cosmological constant, of the non-aligned Griffiths metrics and of the doubly aligned Debever-McLenaghan 'class D' metrics with non-vanishing cosmological constant within the general family of Petrov type D Einstein-Maxwell fields.
