This reprinting of a paper by Kerr and Schild, first published in 1965 in a conference volume that is difficult to get hold of today, has been selected by the Editors of General Relativity and Gravitation for publication in the Golden Oldies series of the journal. It is the only publication showing how the Kerr solution was originally arrived at. In this reprint the editors have added several footnotes that update the references to the literature. The paper is accompanied by an editorial note…

Finding and using exact solutions of the Einstein equations
The evolution of the methods used to find solutions of Einstein’s field equations during the last 100 years is described. Early papers used assumptions on the coordinate forms of the metrics. Since…
Kerr-Schild double copy of the Coulomb solution in three dimensions
While the Kerr-Schild double copy of the Coulomb solution in dimensions higher than three is the Schwarzschild black hole, it is known that it should be a non-vacuum solution in three dimensions. We…
The Kerr metric
This review describes the events leading up to the discovery of the Kerr metric in 1963 and the enormous impact the discovery has had in the subsequent 50 years. The review discusses the Penrose…
J un 2 00 7 1 Discovering the Kerr and Kerr-Schild metrics
The story of this metric begins with a paper by Alexei Zinovievich Petrov (1954) where the simultaneous invariants and canonical forms for the metric and conformal tensor are calculated at a general…

A bstractThe Kerr-Schild (KS) formalism is a powerful tool for constructing exact solutions in general relativity. In this paper, we present a generalization of the conventional KS formalism to…
A theorem on Petrov types
Assumptions about properties of congruences of curves in a spacetime have powerful implications for the Weyl tensor. A well-known example is the conclusion that follows from the propagation equations…
Kerr-Schild double copy and complex worldlines
We use the classical double copy to identify a necessary condition for Maxwell theory sources to constitute single copies of Kerr-Schild solutions to Einstein’s equations. In the case of…
On Kerr-Schild Symmetries and Conservation Laws in General Relativity
In the present work, the spin-coefficient formalism of Newman and Penrose is used to formulate geometric constraints for the existence of Kerr-Schild groups, i.e. continuous groups of generalized…
Kerr–de Sitter black hole revisited
We interpret the cosmological constant as the energy of the vacuum, and under a minimum amount of assumptions, we show that it is deformed in the vicinity of a black hole. This leads us to reexamine…
The Kerr-Schild ansatz revised
Kerr-Schild metrics have been introduced as a linear superposition of the flat spacetime metric and a squared null vector field, say $\boldsymbol{k}$, multiplied by some scalar function, say $H$. The…

Maximal Analytic Extension of the Kerr Metric
Kruskal's transformation of the Schwarzschild metric is generalized to apply to the stationary, axially symmetric vacuum solution of Kerr, and is used to construct a maximal analytic extension of the…
