Admissible Lichnerowicz coordinates for the Schwarzschild metric
Global harmonic coordinates for the complete Schwarzschild metric are found for a more general case than that addressed in a previous work by Quan-Hui Liu. The supplementary constant that appears, in addition to the mass, is related to the stress quadrupole moment of a singular energy--momentum tensor. Similar calculations are also carried out in q--harmonic coordinates.
