Schwarzschild and de Sitter solutions from the argument by Lenz and Sommerfeld

Abstract

The Lenz-Sommerfeld argument allows an ingenious and simple derivation of the Schwarzschild solution of Einstein equations of general relativity. In this paper, we use the same reasoning to construct the de Sitter line element.
