5 Monodromy data map of some classes of solutions Solutions with diagonal metrics: static fields, waves with linear polarization: Stationary axisymmetric fields with the regular axis of symmetry are described by analytically matched monodromy data:: For asymptotically flat stationary axisymmetric fields with the coefficients expressed in terms of the multipole moments. For stationary axisymmetric fields with a regular axis of symmetry the values of the Ernst potentials on the axis near the point of normalization are For arbitrary rational and analytically matched monodromy data the solution can be found explicitly.
