It is shown that a complex coordinate transformation maps the Taub-NUT instanton metric to a Kerr-Schild metric. This metric involves a semi-infinite line defect as the gravitational analog of the Dirac string, much like the original metric. Moreover, it facilitates three versions of classical double copy correspondence with the self-dual dyon in electromagnetism, one of which involving a nonlocal operator. The relevance to the Newman-Janis algorithm is briefly noted.

  1. Schwarzschild black holes from twistor space

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 8.0

    The Schwarzschild metric is derived as a Kähler metric on a holomorphic 'coincidence locus' within the twistor space of self-dual Taub-NUT, solving the googly problem for this specific spacetime.

  2. Mass/electric versus NUT/magnetic charges: duality from scattering amplitudes in $D\geq4$ and for all bosonic spins

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    Kerr-NUT mass/electric and equal-NUT/magnetic charges are dual in D≥4, realized as J_σ ↔ J_−σ in 3-point amplitudes generated by a spin-raising operator for all bosonic spins.

  3. Scattering and depletion in a flying focus from conformal transformations

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Photon emission amplitudes in totally depleting flying focus beams equal a Gaussian average over momentum variables of the corresponding plane-wave amplitudes, obtained via conformal transformations of Volkov solutions.

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    In the root-Kerr model, integrability holds to all spin orders at first order in probe charge with Newman-Janis vertices but extends only to spin-squared at second order and fails at spin-cubic, with asymptotic conser...

  5. Memory effect from the scattering of Taub-NUT black holes

    hep-th 2026-03 conditional novelty 7.0

    Soft theorems yield a gauge-invariant nutty soft factor and the associated memory tensor for Kerr-Taub-NUT scattering, with magnetic components and directional divergences absent in electromagnetism.

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    In the root-Kerr probe model, integrability holds to all spin orders at leading probe charge under Newman-Janis vertices but fails at spin-cubic order at second charge order and cannot be restored by further action de...

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Four relativistic spinning particle models (vector oscillator, spinor oscillator, spherical top, massive twistor) describe identical physics in free and interacting theories within the spin-magnitude-preserving sector.

  8. The Penrose Transform and the Kerr-Schild double copy

    hep-th 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 6.0
