Astrophysically viable Kerr-like spacetime
Alex Simpson, Matt Visser
Abstract
Based on carefully selected physical requirements, we develop and analyze a rotating regular black hole with asymptotically Minkowski core. This Kerr-like geometry possesses the full ``Killing tower'' of nontrivial Killing tensor, Killing-Yano tensor, and principal tensor. The Hamilton-Jacobi equation, Klein-Gordon equation, and Maxwell's equations are separable. Energy-condition violating physics is pushed into an arbitrarily small region in the deep core. Extraction of astrophysical observables falsifiable/verifiable by the observational community is straightforward.
