Horizon angular velocity

ID: horizon-angular-velocity

In an axisymmetric stationary spacetime, the horizon angular velocity is the constant coefficient in the null horizon generator , where is the stationary Killing vector normalized at infinity and generates axial orbits with period . It measures rotation relative to the stationary frame at infinity. For a Kerr black hole, . It enters the rotating physical-process first law through the horizon flux of .
