review text: Verf. stellt einige mathematische Betrachtungen an über die Gültigkeit des Satzes von Robinson, nach dem die Einstein-Maxwell- Gleichungen mit elektromagnetischem Nullfeld genau dann eine Lösung haben, wenn eine scherungsfreie geodätische Nullkongruenz existiert. Weiterhin werden alle Maxwell-Nullfelder im Minkowski-Raum bestimmt.
