Abstract

It is shown that various pathological properties of spacetimes can be explained by the presence of negative mass, including the cases when the total mass of the solution is a positive quantity. As an illustration, we consider several well-known stationary axisymmetric vacuum and electrovac solutions of the Einstein–Maxwell equations. Our investigation naturally leads to a critique of the known maximal extensions of the Kerr and Kerr–Newman spacetimes which turn out to be neither analytic nor physically meaningful.
