Boyer–Lindquist coordinates


In the mathematical description of general relativity, the Boyer–Lindquist coordinates are a generalization of the coordinates used for the metric of a Schwarzschild black hole that can be used to express the metric of a Kerr black hole.

The coordinate transformation from Boyer–Lindquist coordinates , to Cartesian coordinates x, y, z is given by
