Abstract

The electrovacuum Ernst equations are formulated as a nonlinear sigma -model on the symmetric (Kahler) space SU(1,2)/S(U(1)*U(2)). It is shown, using this formulation, that a generalised Robinson-type identity for the electrovacuum Ernst equations may be derived. A special role played in the derivation of this identity by the hidden symmetry group SU(1,2) is established. A theorem is proven that the only possible exterior solution for a (pseudo-) stationary, rotating, electrovacuum black hole with non-degenerate event horizon is the Kerr-Newman solution with m 2 -a 2 -P 2 -Q 2 >0.

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.
