Kerr-Bolt Spacetime: Derivation & Resources

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the lack of accessible resources regarding the derivation of the Kerr-Bolt solution in general relativity. Participants highlight a 1979 article by Gibbons and Hawking as a foundational reference for understanding the term "bolt." Additionally, links to relevant discussions on Kerr spacetimes are provided, emphasizing the need for more comprehensive literature on this specific solution.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of general relativity concepts
  • Familiarity with Kerr spacetimes
  • Knowledge of differential geometry
  • Ability to navigate academic literature and resources
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the 1979 article by Gibbons and Hawking on the Kerr-Bolt solution
  • Explore the implications of Kerr spacetimes in general relativity
  • Investigate current academic papers discussing the Kerr-Bolt solution
  • Review online forums and discussions related to advanced topics in general relativity
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, physicists, and students interested in advanced general relativity, particularly those focusing on the Kerr-Bolt solution and its applications in theoretical physics.

I am unable to find any paper or book on Kerr-Bolt solution. I need to know its derivation. Please if anyone can suggest some material on it? I will be very thankful.

The term "bolt" goes back (at least) to a 1979 article (now open access) by Gibbons and Hawking,
