In first order formulation of pure gravity, we find a new class of solutions to the equations of motion represented by degenerate four-geometries. These configurations are described by non- invertible tetrads with two zero eigenvalues and admit non-vanishing torsion. The homogeneous ones among these infinitely many degenerate solutions admit a geometric classification provided by the three fundamental geometries that a closed two-surface can accomodate, namely, E^2 , S^2 and H^2.

  1. Complex degenerate metrics in general relativity: a covariant extension of the Moore-Penrose algorithm

    gr-qc 2025-02 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    A covariant Moore-Penrose algorithm for complex degenerate metrics is formulated, but its uniqueness and torsion interpretation depend on an arbitrary auxiliary metric and the central proof is incomplete.
