Ehlers group

Ehlers group

In mathematical physics, the Ehlers group, named after Jürgen Ehlers, is a finite-dimensional transformation group of stationary vacuum spacetimes which maps solutions of Einstein's field equations to other solutions. It has since found a number of applications, from use as a tool in the discovery of previously unknown solutions to a proof that solutions in the stationary axi-symmetric case form an integrable system.
