This chapter covers the Kerr metric, which is an exact solution of the Einstein vacuum equations. The Kerr metric provides a good approximation of the spacetime near each of the many rotating black holes in the observable universe. This chapter shows that the Einstein equations are nonlinear. However, there exists a class of metrics which linearize them. It demonstrates the Kerr–Schild metrics, before arriving at the Kerr solution in the Kerr–Schild metrics. Since the Kerr solution is stationary and axially symmetric, this chapter shows that the geodesic equation possesses two first integrals. Finally, the chapter turns to the Kerr black hole, as well as its curvature singularity, horizons, static limit, and maximal extension.

We present a semi-analytical model using the equations of general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) for jets emitted by a rotating black hole. We assume steady axisymmetric outflows of a relativistic ideal fluid in Kerr metrics. We express the conservation equations in the frame of the FIDucial Observer (FIDO or ZAMO) using a 3+1 space–time splitting. Calculating the total energy variation between a non-polar field line and the polar axis, we extend to the Kerr metric the simple criterion for the magnetic collimation of jets obtained for a nonrotating black hole by Meliani et al.10 We show that the black role rotation induced a more efficient magnetic collimation of the jet.

A generalization of the pseudoclassical action of a spinning particle in the presence of an anomalous magnetic momentum is given. The action is written in reparametrization and supergauge invariant form. The Dirac quantization, based on the Hamiltonian analyzes of the model, leads to the Dirac-Pauli equation for a particle with an anomalous magnetic momentum in an external electromagnetic field. Due to the structure of first class constraints in that case, the Dirac quantization demands for consistency to take into account an operator’s ordering problem.
