In Einstein's theory of general relativity
, the Ozsváth–Schücking metric, or the Ozsváth–Schücking solution, is a rotating vacuum solution to the field equations
, published by István Ozsváth and Engelbert Schücking
in 1962. The paper abstract reads:
In Cartesian coordinates the metric has the form
This metric stands in contradiction to a statement of Mach's principle by F. Pirani that goes "In the absence of matter, space-time should necessarily be Minkowskian."
General relativity
General relativity or the general theory of relativity is the geometric theory of gravitation published by Albert Einstein in 1916. It is the current description of gravitation in modern physics...

Einstein field equations
The Einstein field equations or Einstein's equations are a set of ten equations in Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity which describe the fundamental interaction of gravitation as a result of spacetime being curved by matter and energy...
