An ideal conformally covariant characterization of the Kerr conformal structure. (English) Zbl 1533.53026
A conformal structure is a pair formed by a smooth manifold and an equivalence class of Lorentzian metrics that are conformally related to each other. The paper presents an ideal characterization of the family of Lorentzian metrics that are conformally related to the Kerr solution.
