Abstract: | Associated with the charged Kerr solution of the Einstein gravitational field equation there is a Killing tensor of valence two. The Killing tensor, which is related to the angular momentum of the field source, is shown to yield a quadratic first integral of the equation of the motion for charged test particles.The research reported herein has been supported in part by the National Science Foundation, grants GP-8868, GP-20023, and GU-1598; the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, grant 903-67; the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, grant 44-004-001; and the Westinghouse Corporation. |
