摘要
We discuss properties of conformal geodesics on general, vacuum, and warped product space-times and derive a system of conformal deviation equations. It is then shown how to construct on the Schwarzschild-Kruskal space-time globally defined systems of conformal Gauss coordinates which extend smoothly and without degeneracy to future and past null infinity.
