Peeling theorem
text:
In general relativity, the peeling theorem describes the asymptotic behavior of the Weyl tensor as one goes to null infinity. Let γ be a null geodesic in a spacetime from a point p to null infinity, with affine parameter λ . Then the theorem states that, as λ tends to infinity: where C a b c d is the Weyl tensor, and abstract index notation is used. Moreover, in the Petrov classification, C a b c d is type N, C a b c d is type III, C a b c d is type II and C a b c d is type I.
