The Carter constant and Petrov classification of the Vaidya–Einstein–Kerr spacetime

Abstract: The existence of the Carter constant in the Vaidya-Einstein-Kerr (VEK) spacetime and its relation to the Petrov type is investigated. This spacetime is an example of a black hole in an asymptotically non-flat background. We construct the Carter constant and obtain the Killing tensor in the VEK spacetime. The Newman-Penrose formalism is employed to obtain the spin coefficients. We present a complete (Petrov) classification of the VEK spacetime and the special case of the non-rotating VaidyaEinstein-Schwarzschil… Show more

“…We would like to emphasise that only form of the metric is important for this formalism, it does not depend on the nature of the source or asymptotic conditions. Because it is possible to have Carter-like constant for SASS which are not asymptotical flat [17]. More formally, the L 2 can be defined using Killing tensor and its projection onto a space orthogonal to the space formed by the ZAMO and radial vector.…”

“…Following the coordinates introduced by Finkelstein [3], the metric in (1.1) can be construed as ds 2 = − 1 − 2m(u) r du 2 − 4 m(u) r dudr + 1 + 2m(u) r dr 2 + r 2 (dθ 2 + sin 2 θ dφ 2 ). (1.2) Various studies relating to the Vaidiya metric has been done, for e.g., the 'nature of naked singularities' [4], the 'Carter constant and Petrov classification' [5] and references therein which include aspects of the nature of the Killing tensors and well known notion of the 'isometries' of the metric which are the diffeomorphisms of the manifold onto itself which preserve the metric tensor [7]. In this paper, we consider a novel approach to the 'invariance' studies associated with the metric in (1.1) and (1.2).…”
