On embeddings of the Kerr geometry
Description
The use of isometric embeddings of curved geometries reveals their intrinsic structure in a way that is readily appreciated. This is done for three two-surfaces sliced from the Kerr metric which describes a rotating black hole: the equatorial plane, the event horizon, and the ergosurface. (author)
