Abstract

The Newman-Janis algorithm is well known to provide rotating black holes solutions to Einstein's equations from static seeds, through a complexification of a radial and a time coordinates. However, an ambiguity remains for the replacement of the r1r^{-1} and r2r^{-2} powers of the radial coordinate. We show here that the two cases are unified by a simple expression which allows its extension to the r2r^{2} power, characteristic of the de Sitter (dSdS) and anti de Sitter (AdSAdS) spacetimes. The formula leads almost automatically to the Kerr and Kerr-Newman-dSdS and -AdSAdS metrics.
