Abstract

A new rotation version of the Curzon-Chazy metric is found. This new metric was obtained by means of a perturbation method, in order to include slow rotation. The solution is then proved to fulfill the Einstein's equations using a REDUCE program. Furthermore, the applications of this new solution are discussed.

Keywords: general relativity; solutions of Einstein's equations; approximation procedures; weak fields

Resumen

Se encontró una nueva versión rotante de la métrica de Curzon-Chazy. Esta nueva métrica fue obtenida por medio de un método perturbativo para incluir rotación lenta. Se prueba que la métrica obtenida es solución a las ecuaciones de Einstein por medio de un programa en REDUCE. Finalmente, se discuten las aplicaciones de esta nueva solución.

Palabras clave: relatividad general; soluciones de las ecuaciones de Einstein; procedimientos de aproximación; campos débiles
