Category:Coordinate charts in general relativity

In general relativity, solutions to the Einstein field equation are specified locally using coordinate charts. Many of these are sufficiently important in the subject to have their own names and their own Wikipedia articles. We collect them here.

Note to editors: Schwarzschild coordinates (aka curvature or area coordinates) are defined for any static spherically symmetric spacetime, which is part of the rationale for encouraging the creation of articles on coordinate charts to parallel articles on exact solutions. Needless to say, articles on static spherically symmetric perfect fluids should link to the article on Schwarzschild coordinates, and vice versa.
