Details
The square of the line element is of the form:[4]
where (t, ρ, ϕ, z) are the cylindrical Weyl–Lewis–Papapetrou coordinates in 3 + 1 spacetime, and λ, ν, ω, and B, are unknown functions of the spatial non-angular coordinates ρ and z only. Different authors define the functions of the coordinates differently.
