DIRAC MONOPOLES ON KERR BLACK HOLES: COMPARING GAUGES

Abstract

We update our previous work on the description of twisted configurations for complex massless scalar field on the Kerr black holes as the sections of complex line bundles over the Kerr black hole topology [Formula: see text]. From physical point of view, the appearance of twisted configurations is linked with the natural presence of Dirac monopoles that arise as connections in the above line bundles. We consider their description in the gauge inequivalent to the one studied previously and discuss a row of new features appearing in this gauge.
