This metric has Rab​=−3gab​ and cosmological constant Λ=−3 in unit curvature-radius normalization. Its regular static coframe is real when F>0 and z=0. Setting q=αz3, its six independent curvature 2-form coefficients are −(1−q) in the 03 and 12 planes and −(1+q/2) in the other four planes. Their Ricci contractions cancel q. The Weyl tensor squared invariant is 12α2z6, so nonzero α does not give constant sectional curvature despite the Einstein equation.
