Discussion Overview
The discussion centers around the relationship between the mass, angular momentum, and charge of Kerr-Newman black holes. Participants explore whether these properties are interdependent or independent, and seek to clarify the mathematical relationships involved.
Discussion Character
Main Points Raised
- One participant questions the existence of a relationship between mass, angular momentum, and charge, suggesting these are independent properties.
- Another participant asserts that Kerr black holes exhibit a relationship between angular momentum and mass, implying that Kerr-Newman black holes might as well.
- A further reply clarifies that the relationship (J=aM) involves a length scale parameter that is independent of mass, indicating that angular momentum does not have a one-to-one relationship with mass.
- A participant proposes a mathematical inequality involving mass, charge, and angular momentum, suggesting that a violation of this condition would indicate a 'naked singularity' rather than a black hole.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants express differing views on whether a relationship exists between the properties of Kerr-Newman black holes, indicating that the discussion remains unresolved.
Contextual Notes
Some assumptions about the definitions of mass, charge, and angular momentum in the context of black holes may not be explicitly stated. The mathematical steps leading to the proposed inequality are not fully explored.
