Supervisor:
Research Area: Geometry and Analysis
Description:

The objective of this project is to explore the properties of the Kerr spacetime. This spacetime describes a time independent rotating black hole. In this project the behaviour of geodesics in the spacetime, as well as some global aspects of the the solution will be analysed.
