A higher-dimensional generalization of the geodesic part of the Goldberg-Sachs theorem
نویسنده
چکیده
In more than four spacetime dimensions, a multiple Weyl-aligned null direction (WAND) need not be geodesic. It is proved that any higher-dimensional Einstein spacetime admitting a non-geodesic multiple WAND also admits a geodesic multiple WAND. All five-dimensional Einstein spacetimes admitting a non-geodesic multiple WAND are determined.

Triangularization over finite-dimensional division rings using the reduced trace
In this paper we study triangularization of collections of matrices whose entries come from a finite-dimensional division ring. First, we give a generalization of Guralnick's theorem to the case of finite-dimensional division rings and then we show that in this case the reduced trace function is a suitable alternative for trace function by presenting two triangularization results. The first one...
متن کاملThe Goldberg-Sachs theorem in linearized gravity
The Goldberg-Sachs theorem has been very useful in constructing algebraically special exact solutions of Einstein vacuum equation. Most of the physical meaningful vacuum exact solutions are algebraically special. We show that the Goldberg-Sachs theorem is not true in linearized gravity. This is a remarkable result, which gives light on the understanding of the physical meaning of the linearized...
