Boyer–Lindquist coordinates

In those coordinates the local clocks and rulers are at constant r and have no local orbital angular momentum (Lz=0), therefore they are corotating with the frame-dragging velocity relative to the fixed stars. In (+, −, −, −) signature and in natural units of G=M=c=ke=1 the KNdS metric is

gtt=−3[a2sin2⁡θ(a2Λcos2⁡θ+3)+a2(Λr2−3)+Λr4−3r2+6r−3℧2](a2Λ+3)2(a2cos2⁡θ+r2)

grr=−a2cos2⁡θ+r2(a2+r2)(1−Λr23)−2r+℧2

gθθ=−3(a2cos2⁡θ+r2)a2Λcos2⁡θ+3

gϕϕ=9{13(a2+r2)2sin2⁡θ(a2Λcos2⁡θ+3)−a2sin4⁡θ[(a2+r2)(1−Λr2/3)−2r+℧2]}−(a2Λ+3)2(a2cos2⁡θ+r2)

gtϕ=3asin2⁡θ[a2Λ(a2+r2)cos2⁡θ+a2Λr2+Λr4+6r−3℧2](a2Λ+3)2(a2cos2⁡θ+r2)

with all the other metric tensor components gμν=0, where a is the black hole's spin parameter, ℧ its electric charge, and Λ=3H2 the cosmological constant with H as the time-independent Hubble parameter. The electromagnetic 4-potential is

Aμ={3r℧(a2Λ+3)(a2cos2⁡θ+r2),0,0,−3ar℧sin2⁡θ(a2Λ+3)(a2cos2⁡θ+r2)}

The frame-dragging angular velocity is

ω=dϕdt=−gtϕgϕϕ=a[a2Λ(a2+r2)cos2⁡θ+a2Λr2+6r+Λr4−3℧2]a2sin2⁡θ[a2(Λr2−3)+6r+Λr4−3r2−3℧2]+a2Λ(a2+r2)2cos2⁡θ+3(a2+r2)2

and the local frame-dragging velocity relative to constant {r,θ,ϕ} positions (the speed of light at the ergosphere)

ν=gtϕgtϕ=−a2sin2⁡θ[a2Λ(a2+r2)cos2⁡θ+a2Λr2+6r+Λr4−3℧2]2(a2Λcos2⁡θ+3)(a2+r2−a2sin2⁡θ)2[a2(Λr2−3)+6r+Λr4−3r2−3℧2]

The escape velocity (the speed of light at the horizons) relative to the local corotating zero-angular momentum observer is

v=1−1/gtt=3(a2Λcos2⁡θ+3)(a2+r2−a2sin2⁡θ)2[a2(Λr2−3)+Λr4−3r2+6r−3℧2](a2Λ+3)2(a2cos2⁡θ+r2){a2Λ(a2+r2)2cos2⁡θ+3(a2+r2)2+a2sin2⁡θ[a2(Λr2−3)+Λr4−3r2+6r−3℧2]}+1

The conserved quantities in the equations of motion

x¨μ=−∑α,β(Γαβμx˙αx˙β+qFμβx˙αgαβ)

where x˙ is the four velocity, q is the test particle's specific charge and F the Maxwell–Faraday tensor

Fμν=∂Aμ∂xν−∂Aν∂xμ

are the total energy

E=−pt=gttt˙+gtϕϕ˙+qAt

and the covariant axial angular momentum

Lz=pϕ=−gϕϕϕ˙−gtϕt˙−qAϕ

The overdot stands for differentiation by the testparticle's proper time τ or the photon's affine parameter, so x˙=dx/dτ,x¨=d2x/dτ2.
