  1. 1. Derivation and stability determination of black hole metrics

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Emma Svensson; [2018]
    Keywords : black holes; relativity; general relativity; kerr metric; schwarzschild metric; derivation; stability; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The Schwarzschild metric and the Kerr metric describe the gravitational fields around static and rotating black holes, respectively. Here, we derive the Kerr metric in a simpler way than how it was derived originally and determine the stability of the Schwarzschild metric. READ MORE

  3. 2. Analytical Expressions for the Hawking Mass in slowly rotating Kerr and Kerr-Newman Space-times

    University essay from Matematiska institutionen

    Author : Martin Bengtsson; [2007]
    Keywords : Hawking mass; Penrose s inequality; Newman-Penrose formalism; Nester-Witten integral; Kerr space-time; Kerr-Newman space-time;

    Abstract : Penrose's inequality which relates the total mass of a space-time containing a black hole with the area of the event horizon, is a yet unproven condition that is required for the cosmic censorship hypothesis. It is believed that the inequality could be proved by using properties of the Hawking mass. READ MORE
