Abstract

The Newman-Janis algorithm is well known to provide rotating black holes solutions to Einstein's equations from static seeds, through a complexification of a radial and a time coordinates. However, an ambiguity remains for the replacement of the r-1 and r-2 powers of the radial coordinate. We show here that the two cases are unified by a simple expression which allows its extension to the r2 power, characteristic of the de Sitter (dS) and anti de Sitter (AdS) spacetimes. The formula leads almost automatically to the Kerr and Kerr-Newman-dS and -AdS metrics.
