Oxford (2) 1, 69 (1950)], of null parallel distributions on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. The underlying manifold is realized, locally, as the total space of a fibre bundle, each fibre of which is an affine principal bundle over a pseudo-Riemannian manifold. All structures just named are naturally determined by the distribution and the metric, in contrast with the non-canonical choice of coordinates in the usual formulation of Walker's theorem.12 pagesDifferential Geometry53B30Walker's theorem without coordinatestext
