Quasi-isometric embedding of Kerr poloidal sub-manifolds

Abstract

We propose two approaches to obtain an isometric embedding of the poloidal Kerr sub-manifold. The first one relies on the convex integration process using the corrugation from a primitive embedding. This allows us to obtain one parameter family of embeddings reaching the limits of an isometric embedding. The second one consists in consecutive numerical resolutions of the Gauss-Codazzi-Mainardi and frame equations. This method requires geometric assumptions near the equatorial axis of the poloidal sub-manifold to get initial and boundary conditions. The second approach allows to understand some physical properties in the vicinity of a Kerr black hole, in particular the fast increasing ergoregion extent with angular momentum.
