Description
In this talk I will discuss the Newman-Penrose map, which relates a class of exact solutions of Einstein’s equations to self-dual solutions of Maxwell's equations. This map, although not technically a double copy, produces similar results to other formulations of the classical double copy and applies to a general class of spacetimes. I will present several examples of spacetimes related to gauge theories under the Newman-Penrose map and compare with other formulations, including upcoming work in maximally symmetric backgrounds.
