Where can i read about the solution of Einstein equations with spherical symmetry in tetrad formalism?

here is an article covering it
The tetrad formalism is a mathematical framework used in general relativity to describe the geometry of spacetime. It involves the use of a set of four orthonormal vectors, known as a tetrad, to represent the local frame of reference at any given point in spacetime.
In the tetrad formalism, black holes are described as regions of spacetime where the curvature is so extreme that nothing, including light, can escape from within its boundary, known as the event horizon.
The tetrad formalism allows for a more intuitive and geometrically visual representation of black holes, making it easier to understand their properties and behavior. It also simplifies mathematical calculations and can provide insights into the underlying physics of black holes.
Yes, the tetrad formalism can be extended to describe rotating black holes, known as Kerr black holes. This allows for a more complete understanding of these objects, as many astrophysical black holes are believed to be rotating.
Yes, the tetrad formalism is a continuously evolving area of research, and there are ongoing efforts to use it to study various aspects of black holes, such as their formation, accretion processes, and interactions with other objects in the universe.
