On the radiation gauge for spin-1 perturbations in Kerr-Newman spacetime


Abstract in English

We extend previous work [arXiv:1908.09095] to the case of Maxwells equations with a source. Our work shows how to construct a retarded vector potential for the Maxwell field on the Kerr-Newman background in a radiation gauge. As in our previous work, the vector potential has a reconstructed term obtained from a Hertz potential solving Teukolskys equation with a source, and a correction term which is obtainable by a simple integration along outgoing principal null rays. The singularity structure of our vector potential is discussed in the case of a point particle source.
