Idea

A spacetime is called static if it is stationary (admits a Killing vector field which is timelike) and in addition irrotational (…).

Properties

Ehlers transformation

An Ehlers transformation is a transformation that acts on the parameters of static spacetimes solving the Einstein field equations and generates other solutions of the field equations that are in general stationary spacetimes.
