Abstract:

For axially symmetric, stationary gravitational field equations, a new Lax pair of the inverse scattering method is presented from a geometrical point of view. The metric coefficient e2r(=-gρρgtt-1) is taken as the basic field variable, which satisfies an equation describing pseudospherical surfaces, i.e., surfaces of constant negative Gaussian curvature. The equations for other metric coefficients are also discussed.
