Singularities in the Kerr-Newman and charged δ = 2 Tomimatsu-Sato spacetimes endowed with negative mass

The Kerr-Newman solution with negative mass is shown to develop a massless ring singularity off the symmetry axis. The singularity is located inside the region with closed timelike curves which has the topology of a torus and lies outside the ergoregion. These characteristics are also shared by the...

Zusammenfassung:The Kerr-Newman solution with negative mass is shown to develop a massless ring singularity off the symmetry axis. The singularity is located inside the region with closed timelike curves which has the topology of a torus and lies outside the ergoregion. These characteristics are also shared by the charged Tomimatsu-Sato δ = 2 solution with negative total mass to which in particular a simple form in terms of four polynomials is provided.
