The Kerr spacetime: A brief introduction
نویسنده
چکیده
Comment: This is a draft of an introductory chapter on the Kerr spacetime that is intended for use in the book “The Kerr spacetime”, currently being edited by Susan Scott, Matt Visser, and David Wiltshire. This chapter is intended as a teaser and brief introduction to the mathematics and physics of the Kerr spacetime — it is not, nor is it intended to be, a complete and exhaustive survey of everything in the field. Comments and community feedback, especially regarding clarity and pedagogy, are welcome.

Higher Dimensional Generalizations of the Kerr Black Hole

متن کاملLinear Waves in the Kerr Geometry: a Mathematical Voyage to Black Hole Physics
This paper gives a survey of wave dynamics in the Kerr spacetime geometry, the mathematical model of a rotating black hole in equilibrium. After a brief introduction to the Kerr metric, we review the separability properties of linear wave equations for fields of general spin s = 0, 1 2 , 1, 2, corresponding to scalar, Dirac, electromagnetic fields and linearized gravitational waves. We give res...
متن کاملA spacetime characterization of the Kerr metric
We obtain a characterization of the Kerr metric among stationary, asymptotically flat, vacuum spacetimes, which extends the characterization in terms of the Simon tensor (defined only in the manifold of trajectories) to the whole spacetime. More precisely, we define a three index tensor on any spacetime with a Killing field, which vanishes identically for Kerr and which coincides in the strictl...
متن کاملGeodesics in stationary spacetimes . Application to Kerr spacetime
The Levi-Civita connection and geodesic equations for a stationary spacetime are studied in depth. General formulae which generalize those for warped products are obtained. These results are applicated to some regions of Kerr spacetime previously studied by using variational methods. We show that they are neither space-convex nor geodesically connected. Moreover, the whole stationary part of Ke...

In this paper, we considered cosmological constant as a variable and studied properties and the thermodynamics stability of BTZ black hole from a geometric perspective. Also, we examined the correspondence between thermodynamic curvature singularities and phase transitionpoints with different thermodynamic metrics. We found that theQuevedo metric cannot predict the phase transition points in tw...
