Formation of a Kerr black hole from two stringy NUT objects

TL;DR

This paper proposes a novel interpretation of Kerr black holes as resulting from two stringy NUT objects arranged in a specific configuration, providing new insights into black hole formation.

Contribution

It introduces a new perspective on Kerr black holes by modeling them as a pair of stringy NUT objects aligned on the symmetry axis.

Findings

Kerr black holes can be formed from two NUT objects.

The NUT objects are identical and counter-rotating.

The configuration depends on the distance between the objects.

Abstract

In this paper we show that an isolated Kerr black hole can be interpreted as arising from a pair of identical counter-rotating NUT objects placed on the symmetry axis at an appropriate distance from each other.
