Solutions of wave equations in charged Kerr can be separated into a factor eiωu or eiωv times e−imφ times a function of r and θ; the scalar wave equation is separable, and neutrino, electromagnetic and linearised gravitational fields in the uncharged rotating case are completely separable.
“As these solutions are stationary and axisymmetric, one can separate solutions of the wave equations in them into a factor eiωu or eiωv times e− imφ times a function of r and θ.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
