The Kerr-Newman metric describes a very special rotating, charged mass and is the most general of the asymptotically flat stationary 'black hole' solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell equations of general relativity. We review the derivation of this metric from the Reissner-Nordstrom solution by means of a complex transformation algorithm and provide a brief overview of its basic geometric properties. We also include some discussion of interpretive issues, related metrics, and higher-dimensional analogues.

  1. Untwisting the double copy: the zeroth copy as an optical seed

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A single complex optical seed built from expansion and twist organizes stationary Kerr-Schild geometries, reconstructs the congruence, and encodes the zeroth-copy data that generates both the gravitational profile and...

  2. Twisted Feynman Integrals: from generating functions to spin-resummed post-Minkowskian dynamics

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Twisted Feynman integrals are introduced with graded Symanzik polynomials, classified as exponential periods, and shown to have geometry not inferable from generalized Baikov leading singularities.
