The Kerr-Newman metric: A Review
read the original abstract
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.

Graviton scattering on self-dual black holes
Exact tree-level MHV graviton scattering amplitudes at arbitrary multiplicity are obtained on self-dual Taub-NUT backgrounds using twistor theory, including spin via Newman-Janis shift, with undeformed celestial symmetries.

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

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

Mixed-helicity bracket of celestial symmetries
Restricting one helicity to the wedge sector and introducing shadow charges yields closed mixed-helicity algebras for all spins in gravity and gauge theory, plus dual mass BMS extensions and non-vanishing electromagne...

Black holes and black regions, horizons and barriers in Lorentzian manifolds
Time-oriented null hypersurfaces in Lorentzian manifolds are one-way barriers for causal curves, enabling definitions of barriers and black regions that generalize smooth event horizons and black holes.
