On the equivalence of spacetimes, the Cartan-Karlhede algorithm
Abstract It is well known that in general relativity theory two spacetimes whose metrics are related by a coordinate transformation are physically equivalent. However, given two line elements, it is virtually impossible to implement the most general coordinate transformation in order to check the eq...
