Phys. Rev. D 57, 4885–4889 (1998)From Schwarzschild to Kerr: Generating spinning Einstein-Maxwell fields from static fieldsReceived 29 October 1997; published in the issue dated 15 April 1998 The Kerr solution is generated from the Schwarzschild solution by a simple combination of real global coordinate transformations and of invariance transformations acting on the space of stationary solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations. The same transformation can be used to generate a spinning field configuration from any static axisymmetric configuration. We illustrate this by generating from the continuous family of Voorhees-Zipoy vacuum solutions a family of solutions endowed with mass, angular momentum, dipole magnetic moment, and quadrupole electric moment. © 1998 The American Physical Society URL:
