Mar 13 at 15:02 comment added Sten @A.V.S. right, that's why the weak-field limit is in the linear mass density of the source and does not involve the spatial position.
Mar 13 at 14:22 comment added A.V.S. Infinite cylinder of mass cannot have a weak field limit since it would not be asymptotically flat and could not be reduced to Newtonian gravity.
Mar 13 at 8:30 comment added Sten No, it implies asymptotic flatness.
Mar 13 at 7:46 comment added Tantal181 Birkhoff requires asymptotic Minkowski and concludes it can only be Schwarzschild. Asymptotic Minkowski is questionable in case of flat rotation everywhere, out to infinity. So Birkhoff would not be applicable.
Mar 13 at 6:53 comment added Sten @Tantal181 According to Birkhoff's theorem Schwarzschild is the unique vacuum spherically symmetric solution
Mar 13 at 6:47 comment added Tantal181 I am sorry, I had solutions with spherical symmetry in mind. My post was not clear enough, I thus edited my question accordingly. And I added possible oddities.
