Modified theories of gravity are often built such that they contain general relativity as a limiting case. This inclusion property implies that the Kerr metric is common to many families of theories. For example, all analytic $f(R)$…

Vacuum perturbations of the Kerr metric can be reconstructed from the corresponding perturbation in either of the two Weyl scalars $\psi_0$ or $\psi_4$, using a procedure described by Chrzanowski and others in the 1970s. More recent work,…

Metric reconstruction is the general problem of parameterizing GR in terms of its two ``true degrees of freedom'', e.g., by a complex scalar ``potential'' -- in practice mostly with the aim of simplifying the Einstein equation (EE) within…
The strategy of obtaining the familiar Kerr-Newman solution in general relativity is based on either using the metric ansatz in the Kerr-Schild form, or applying the method of complex coordinate transformation to a non-rotating charged…
