Lie theory and the wave equation in space-time. 5. R-separable solutions of the wave equation ψtt-Δ3ψ = 0
Abstract
A detailed classification is made of orthogonal coordinate systems for which the wave equation ψtt - Δ3ψ = 0 admits an R -separable solution. Only those coordinate systems are given which are not conformally equivalent to coordinate systems that have been found in previous articles. We find 106 new coordinates to give a total of 367 conformally inequivalent orthogonal coordinates for which the wave equation admits an R -separation of variables.
