The solar gravitational field completely determined by its light rays

Edward Kasner

A chapter in Festschrift, 1982, pp 227-236 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In a previous paper published in the American Journal of Mathematics1), I have taken up the question whether two fields both obeying Einstein’s equations of gravitation can ever have the same light rays. I have answered this question in the negative; first, under the assumption that one of the fields is euclidean, and second, under the assumption that both fields are approximately euclidean. The simplification of the latter case is due to the fact that only the linear terms in the gravitational equations have to be taken into account in the calculation.
