Abstract

Black holes are spacetimes that should describe the end state of the gravitational collapse of huge amounts of quantum matter. A quantum description of dust cores for black hole geometries that accounts for the large number of matter constituents can be obtained by quantising the geodesic motion of dust particles and finding the corresponding many-body ground state. We here generalise previous works in spherical symmetry to rotating geometries and show the effect of angular momentum on the size of the core and effective interior geometry.
