Generalised soliton solutions of the Weyl class

Abstract

Generalised soliton solutions of the Weyl class (Verdaguer, Enric ; Carot, Jaume)

Abstract

The whole family of generalised soliton solutions of the Weyl class for Einstein's equations in vacuum is considered. A classification scheme for the distinct types of metrics belonging to this family is given and emphasis is placed on the asymptotically flat solutions. The physical interpretation of the occurring parameters is also briefly considered.
