On the prolongation structures of Petrov type III vacuum spacetime equations

Abstract

The universal covering symmetry algebra of the Robinson-Trautman equations of Petrov Type III is shown to include the infinite-dimensional affine Kac-Moody algebra A1 as a prolongation algebra. This algebra has slower growth than the contragradient algebra K2 obtained previously for this equation.
