Notes:
The Bach equation, i.e., the vacuum field equation following from the Lagrangian L=CijklCijkl, will be completely solved for the case that the metric is conformally related to the Cartesian product of two two-spaces; this covers the spherically and the plane symmetric space–times as special subcases. Contrary to other approaches, we make a covariant 2+2-decomposition of the field equation, and so we are able to apply results from two-dimensional gravity. Finally, some cosmological solutions will be presented and discussed. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
