Abstract: (AIP)
We formulate stationary axially symmetric (SAS) Einstein–Maxwell fields in the framework of harmonic mappings of Riemannian manifolds and show that the configuration space of the fields is a symmetric space. This result enables us to embed the configuration space into an eight‐dimensional flat manifold and formulate SAS Einstein–Maxwell fields as a σ‐model. We then give, in a coordinate free way, a Belinskii–Zakharov type of an inverse scattering transform technique for the field equations supplemented by a reduction scheme similar to that of Zakharov–Mikhailov and Mikhailov–Yarimchuk.
