Abstract
The field equations for Einstein—Maxwell fields admitting a normal null Killing vector are reduced to a 2-covariant system of equations, which can be derived from a variational principle. Using the invariance of the associated Lagrangian one can generate a class of Einstein—Maxwell fields from the corresponding vacuum solutions.
