On the various aspects of electromagnetic potentials in spacetimes with symmetries

Abstract: We revise and generalize the properties of the electric and the magnetic scalar potentials in spacetimes admitting a Killing vector field: Their constancy on the Killing horizons, uniqueness of solution for the electromagnetic test fields and the relation between the Bianchi identity and Maxwell's equations. In each of these examples, collinearity of currents with the Killing vector field is shown to be the crucial property.

“…Since here we don't need the notion of the angular momentum J, the resulting generalized Smarr formula for the static black holes remains valid even if the spacetime is not necessarily axially symmetric. Note, however, that in the static non-axially symmetric case we rely on the field equation proof [34,51,52]…”

“…but only valid for h ∈ {0, 1}. Proceeding by analogy with the m = 0 case, we now Ansatz 20) where the dependence of the additional Θ factor on the coordinates (t, r, φ) is fixed to be Φ h (r)Ψ m (φ) in order to ensure that the potential A EM h,m (U h,m , V h,m , T h,m ) is still an SL(2, R) highest-weight U(1)-eigenstate. Again, note that this is a nonlinear superposition in θ because the functions U h,m (θ), V h,m (θ) need not be identical to the functions P h,m (θ), S h,m (θ) introduced in sections 3 and 4.…”

“…Just as in classical electrostatics and magnetostatics, a useful strategy for problem solving is introduction of scalar potentials, whenever this is possible [42][43][44]. Magnetic field 1-form defined with respect to a vector field X a is given by B[X] a ≡ X b * F ba .…”
