Global structure of the Zipoy-Voorhees-Weyl spacetime and the delta=2 Tomimatsu-Sato spacetime
read the original abstract
We investigate the structure of the ZVW (Zipoy-Voorhees-Weyl) spacetime, which is a Weyl solution described by the Zipoy-Voorhees metric, and the delta=2 Tomimatsu-Sato spacetime. We show that the singularity of the ZVW spacetime, which is represented by a segment rho=0, -sigma<z<sigma in the Weyl coordinates, is geometrically point-like for delta<0, string-like for 0<delta<1 and ring-like for delta>1. These singularities are always naked and have positive Komar masses for delta>0. Thus, they provide a non-trivial example of naked singularities with positive mass. We further show that the ZVW spacetime has a degenerate Killing horizon with a ring singularity at the equatorial plane for delta=2,3 and delta>=4. We also show that the delta=2 Tomimatsu-Sato spacetime has a degenerate horizon with two components, in contrast to the general belief that the Tomimatsu-Sato solutions with even delta do not have horizons.

Generating Rotation in a Snap
An algebraic technique generates rotating black holes and multi-source solutions from static ones by transforming to AdS×S asymptotics, applying a rotating frame shift, and returning to flat asymptotics.
