Abstract
The Belinsky–Zakharov version of the inverse scattering method is used to generate a large class of solutions to the vacuum Einstein equations representing uniformly accelerating and rotating disks and rings. The solutions studied are generated from a simple class of static disks and rings that can be expressed in a simple form using suitable complex functions of the usual cylindrical coordinates.
