abstract

This chapter provides a brief introduction to the Kerr spacetime and rotating black holes, touching on the most common coordinate representations of the spacetime metric and the key features of the geometry -- the presence of horizons and ergospheres. The coverage is by no means complete, and serves chiefly to orient oneself when reading subsequent chapters.

Remarks on electrical Penrose process for magnetized Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole

gr-qc · 2026-05-19 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

An external magnetic field induces an ergosphere in the magnetized Reissner-Nordström spacetime, enabling the electric Penrose process with efficiency set by metric coefficients, electromagnetic potential, and critical magnetic field values that mark onset and suppression of extraction.
