¡Nos trasladamos! E-Prints cerrará el 7 de junio.

En las próximas semanas vamos a migrar nuestro repositorio a una nueva plataforma con muchas funcionalidades nuevas. En esta migración las fechas clave del proceso son las siguientes:

7 de junio: congelación de E-Prints. A partir de este momento, no se podrá hacer ningún depósito ni cambio, modificación o edición.
12 al 30 de junio: migración de E-Prints a Docta Complutense, comprobación y visto bueno de la migración
3 de julio: entrada en producción de Docta Complutense

Es muy importante que cualquier depósito se realice en E-Prints Complutense antes del 7 de junio. En caso de urgencia para realizar un depósito, se puede comunicar a docta@ucm.es.

Abstract

The Einstein field equations for twisting, type-N fields in empty space possessing two noncommuting Killing vectors are reduced to a single second-order ordinary differential equation for a complex function. Alternative forms of this basic equation are also presented; in particular, an appropriate Legendre transform provides a partial linearization, leading to a single real, nonlinear, third-order ordinary differential equation.
