The Min metric is the simplest and exact solution of the vacuum field equation, because the Min metric Cartesian coordinate system Components in are constant everywhere
Therefore, the Kirschner symbol and its partial derivative are both 0, so the Ritchie tensor is 0, which satisfies the vacuum field equation
Other well-known exact solutions of the vacuum field equation include the description of space-time around static spherically symmetric stars [1] Schwarzschild gauge And static axisymmetric stars kerr metric
