Abstracts

EN

We present a version of the vacuum Einstein equations where the field equations are defined for cross-sections of a line bundle over the sphere and where the manifold of solutions is four-dimensional and defines the space-time itself. The cross-sections themselves become the characteristic surfaces of the space-time.
