Parallel null partner for ingoing Schwarzschild rays

ID: parallel-null-partner-for-ingoing-schwarzschild-rays

In the Ingoing Eddington-Finkelstein coordinates metric , where , the tangent is affine when is constant along each ray. The displayed radial partner obeys and . Since and , its derivative cancels the connection term, giving . Its screen is the angular two-plane, with optical tensor , null expansion , and zero null shear and null twist.
