Killing Horizons as Equipotential Hypersurfaces

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2015-03-20 v3

Abstract

In this note we present a new proof that Killing horizons are equipotential hypersurfaces for the electric and the magnetic scalar potential, that makes no use of gravitational field equations or the assumption about the existence of bifurcation surface.
