Abstract
In this lecture we deal with the construction of surface densities for the angular momentum of the sources of asymptotically flat vacuum stationary axisymmetric spacetimes. These sources arise from the discontinuities of the twist potential. The result will be applied to the Kerr metric to obtain an integrable density which can be viewed as the regularized version of the density obtained using other formalisms.
