New Approach to the Einstein and Maxwell-Einstein Field Equations
Journal Article

· Journal of Mathematical Physics
The components of a "vierbein'' system are introduced as field variables in place of the metric tensor in a Riemannian space. The Riemann tensor, which is then written in terms of these new variables, is used to reformulate the Einstein and Einstein-Maxwell equations with or without a cosmological constant These field equations have as solutions metrics with Riemann tensor of predetermined algebraic properties.
