Peeling theorem
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
In general relativity, the peeling theorem describes the asymptotic behavior of the Weyl tensor as one goes to null infinity. Let be a null geodesic in a spacetime
from a point p to null infinity, with affine parameter
. Then the theorem states that, as
tends to infinity:
where is the Weyl tensor, and we used the abstract index notation. Moreover, in the Petrov classification,
is type IV,
is type III,
is type II (or II-II) and
is type I.
