Minkowski electromagnetic analog for Kerr-Newman electrovac solution

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

An electromagnetic analog of the Kerr-Newman solution in general relativity is derived, based on Minkowski's formulation for electromagnetic fields in moving media. The equivalent system is a distribution of charges and currents largely localized within a spinning disk of radius a. This occurs in a rotating medium of inhomogeneous index of refraction and "frame dragging" at exactly half the angular velocity of the electrical charge.
