Journal ArticleDOI
The four laws of black hole mechanics
TL;DR: This article derived expressions for the mass of a stationary axisymmetric solution of the Einstein equations containing a black hole surrounded by matter and for the difference in mass between two neighboring such solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global structure of the Kerr family of gravitational fields
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that in all except the spherically symmetric cases there is a nontrivial causality violation, i.e., there are closed timelike lines which are not removable by taking a covering space; moreover, when the charge or angular momentum is so large that there are no Killing horizons, this causal violation is of the most flagrant possible kind in that it is possible to connect any event to any other by a future-directed time line.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hamilton-Jacobi and Schrödinger separable solutions of Einstein's equations
TL;DR: In this article, the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for the geodesies is solved by separation of variables in such a way that a certain natural canonical orthonormal tetrad is determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Axisymmetric Black Hole Has Only Two Degrees of Freedom
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that in a certain canonical sense, the Kerr metrics represent the exterior fields of black holes with the corresponding mass and angular-momentum values.
