COMPLEX STRING AS SOURCE OF KERR GEOMETRY

Abstract

The Kerr solution is considered as a soliton-like background for spinning elementary particles. Two stringy structures may be found in the Kerr geometry, one string is real and another one is complex. The main attention in this paper is paid to the complex string, which is connected with the Lind-Newman representation of the Kerr metric source as an object with a complex world-line. In a separate note, one new result is announced concerning the real string: in the dilaton-axion gravity the Kerr singular ring may be considered as a heterotic string, the field near the Kerr singularity coincides with the solution obtained by Sen for heterotic string.
