Abstract

We show that the tree dimensional Einstein vacuum field equations with cosmological constant are integrable. Using the $sl(2,R)$ valued soliton connections we obtain the metric of the spacetime in terms of the dynamical variables of the integrable nonlinear partial differential equations.
