The Non-Autonomous Chiral Model and the Ernst Equation of General Relativity in the Bidifferential Calculus Framework

The non-autonomous chiral model equation for an m×m matrix function on a two-dimensional space appears in particular in general relativity, where for m=2 a certain reduction of it determines stationary, axially symmetric solutions of Einstein's vacuum equations, and for m=3 solutions of the Ein...
