The Lorentz transformation is
It is a boost along the -axis from the frame in which the black hole moves to its rest frame. Direct matrix multiplication shows that replacing by gives its inverse.
Put
The rest-frame metric can be written as . The Minkowski term is invariant under the Lorentz transformation, while . Therefore
and
These substitutions give precisely
Hold fixed. At a point with ,
but
The small- expansions are
Consequently, with , the Ultrarelativistic limit of the boosted Schwarzschild metric away from the null plane is
Equivalently,
with all other components zero.
