Description

The Kerr−Newman metric is analyzed according to the null tetrad formalism. The components of the Weyl and the Ricci tensors are calculated and these tensors are then projected on a suitable null−tetrad basis. The spin coefficients of Newman and Penrose are also calculated. These results are applied to obtain the equations of gravitational and neutrino perturbations in the Kerr−Newman metric.
