Rindler approximation to Kerr black hole
Abstract
We show that the Rindler approximation to the time-radial part of the Kerr and Kerr-Newman metrics near their external and internal horizons {\bf only} holds {\bf outside} and {\bf inside} , so respectively inside and outside the external and internal ergospheres, regions where, in Boyer-Lindquist coordinates, both and are negative, but preserving the Lorentzian character of the metric, and i.e. outside the region where closed timelike curves exist. At each point, the choice of Rindler coordinates is not trivial, but depends on the polar angle . The approximation, as is known, automatically gives the absolute values of the surface gravities as the corresponding proper accelerations, and therefore the Hawking temperatures at .
