Bergmann-Thomson Energy of a Charged Rotating Black Hole

  • Published:
Foundations of Physics Letters

Abstract

We obtain the energy distribution associated with a charged rotating (Kerr-Newman) black hole in Bergmann-Thomson formulation. We find that the energy-momentum definitions prescribed by Einstein, Landau-Lifshitz, Papapetrou, Weinberg, and Bergmann-Thomson give the same and acceptable result and also support the Cooperstock hypothesis for energy localization in general relativity. The repulsive effect due to the electric charge and rotation parameters of the metric is also reflected from the energy distribution expression.
