Janis-Newman algorithm: simplifications and gauge field transformation

Erbin, Harold

Understand

The Janis-Newman algorithm is an old but very powerful tool to generate rotating solutions from static ones through a set of complex coordinate transformations.

  • Several solutions have been derived in this way, including solutions with gauge fields.
  • However, the transformation of the latter was so far always postulated as an ad hoc result.
  • In this paper we propose a generalization of the procedure, extending it to the transformation of the gauge field.
