Vanishing scalar invariant spacetime

In mathematical physics, vanishing scalar invariant (VSI) spacetimes are Lorentzian manifolds in which all polynomial curvature invariants of all orders are vanishing. Although the only Riemannian manifold with the VSI property is flat space, the Lorentzian case admits nontrivial spacetimes with this property.
