Real null coframes in general relativity and GPS type coordinates
arXiv:gr-qc/0110078 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.65.044018
Abstract
Based on work of Derrick, Coll, and Morales, we define a `symmetric' null coframe with {\it four real null covectors}. We show that this coframe is closely related to the GPS type coordinates recently introduced by Rovelli.
