The gyromagnetic factor in electrodynamics, quantum theory and general relativity

Abstract: Starting with some basic facts about the gyromagnetic factor g in Maxwell's theory, we review the special role played by a g factor g = 2 in quantum mechanics and elementary particle physics, and we draw attention to the same value g = 2 for the black holes and many other (electro-)vacuum solutions of general relativity. We strengthen and extend this special role of g = 2 in general relativity by considering a class of slowly rotating, charged mass shells, showing that the black-hole value g = 2 is ext… Show more

“…(8.23)). Indeed, the gyromagnetic ratio of sources producing conformastationary metrics is equal to 2, like it is for charged, rotating (Kerr-Newman) black holes and as it is expected to be equal approximately for other highly relativistic objects (see [30], [31] for recent studies of this problem).…”

“…Driven by the fact that the electrically charged Kerr solution, the KerrNewman solution, has a g-factor of 2, exactly like the electron (see also Pfister & King [153]), Burinskii [24,25] speculated that a soliton like solution of the Dirac equation may be the source of the Kerr metric, see also Burinskii & Kerr [26]. Is that the "bright new idea" Krasiński was talking about?…”
