相关论文: A new form of the Kerr solution

It was recently conjectured that a certain vacuum Kerr-Schild spacetime, which may be regarded as a self-dual analog of the Kerr metric, is equivalent to the self-dual Taub-NUT instanton. We confirm this conjecture by applying the…

A new Vaidya-type generalisation of Kerr space-time is constructed by requiring the Kerr mass and angular momentum per unit mass to depend upon a variable which has a simple geometrical origin. The matter distribution introduced in this way…

The Kerr solution is the cornerstone of General Relativity (GR) for modelling astrophysical rotating black holes and for testing GR through gravitational-wave observations and black hole imaging. Understanding how the Kerr geometry is…

It is not currently known how to put the Kerr spacetime metric into the so-called Gordon form, although the closely related Kerr-Schild form of the Kerr metric is well known. A Gordon form for the Kerr geometry, if it could be found, would…

We briefly discuss explicit compact object solutions in higher-order scalar-tensor theories. We start by so-called stealth solutions, whose metric are General Relativity (GR) solutions, but accompanied by a non-trivial scalar field, in both…

The explicit form for the post-Newtonian gravitational time delay of light signals propagating on the equatorial plane of a Kerr-Newman black hole is derived. Based on the null geodesic in Kerr-Newman spacetime, we adopt the iterative…

This chapter provides a brief introduction to the Kerr spacetime and rotating black holes, touching on the most common coordinate representations of the spacetime metric and the key features of the geometry -- the presence of horizons and…

Black-hole spacetimes are known to possess closed light rings. We here present a remarkably compact theorem which reveals the physically intriguing fact that these unique null circular geodesics provide the {\it fastest} way, as measured by…

We solve the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations in an open cosmological universe with a partially horn topology in the presence of a time dependent magnetic field. Since the exact solution cannot be obtained explicitly for arbitrary…

We present a novel approach for the construction of interior solutions for the Kerr metric, extending J. Ovalle's foundational work through ellipsoidal coordinate transformations. By deriving a physically plausible interior solution that…

A hypothetical equation of motion is proposed for Kerr-Newman particles. It is obtained by analytic continuation of the Lorentz-Dirac equation into complex space-time. A new class of "runaway" solutions are found which are similar to…

The static Kottler metric is the Schwarzschild vacuum metric extended to include a cosmological constant. Angular momentum is added to the Kottler metric by using Newman and Janis' complexifying algorithm. The new metric is the Lambda…

A new formulation of Carter's constant for geodesic motion in Kerr black holes is given. It is shown that Carter's constant corresponds to the total angular momentum plus a precisely defined part which is quadratic in the linear momenta.…

We propose a solution to the problem of time for systems with a single global Hamiltonian constraint. Our solution stems from the observation that, for these theories, conventional gauge theory methods fail to capture the full classical…

Null tetrads are shown to be a valuable tool in teleparallel theories of modified gravity. We use them to prove that Kerr geometry remains a solution for a wide family of f(T) theories of gravity.

We re-express the Kerr metric in standard Bondi-Saches' coordinate near null infinity ${\cal I}^+$. Using the uniqueness result of characteristic initial value problem, we prove the Kerr metric is the only asymptotic flat, stationary, axial…

In this work we study in detail new kinds of motions of the metric tensor. The work is divided into two main parts. In the first part we study the general existence of Kerr-Schild motions --a recently introduced metric motion. We show that…

We obtain exact solutions to the class of parabolic partial differential equations of arbitrary dimensionality and with arbitrary potentials. The solutions are presented in a compact-form: as explicit mathematical expressions consisting of…

A number of scalar invariant characterizations of the Kerr solution are presented. These characterizations come in the form of {\em quality factors} defined in stationary space-times. A quality factor is a scalar quantity varying in the…

We investigate the Dirac equation in Kerr-Newman space-time, using horizon penetrating coordinates (Eddington-Finkelstein-Coordinates) and the Newman-Penrose formalism to separate the equation into radial and angular systems of ordinary…
