Abstract
A tractable method is presented for obtaining transformations to pseudo-Cartesian coordinates in locally flat pseudo-Riemannian spaces. The procedure is based on the properties of parallel covector fields. As an illustration, the method is applied to obtain certain transformations that arise in the Hamilton–Jacobi theory of separation of variables.
