Two-soliton solutions of the Ernst equation
Description
A connection between the Ernst equation and the chiral model on SL(2,R) is established. The Belinsky-Zakharov inverse method is used to solve the Ernst equation. Two-soliton solutions of the Ernst equation are given. It is shown that the two-soliton solution obtained from the Minkowski space-time is the NUT generalisation of the Kerr solution. (author)
