Erratum: Conformally flat stationary axisymmetric spacetimes [Phys. Rev. D<b>66</b>, 124018 (2002)]
In [1], the authors claim to have found a previously overlooked family of stationary and axisymmetric conformally flat spacetimes, contradicting an old theorem of Collinson [2].In both [1] and [2] it is tacitly assumed that the isometry group is orthogonally transitive.Under the same assumption, we point out here that Collinson's …
