Rotating black holes in de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley massive gravity

Abstract

We delve into the rotating black hole solutions in de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) massive gravity. Employing an analytical approach, we solve the field equations for scenarios both devoid of matter and in the presence of an electromagnetic field. Consequently, we obtain black hole solutions that extend beyond the Kerr-Newman family. These solutions are characterized not only by mass $M$, electric charge $Q$, and angular momentum $a$, but also by the graviton mass term, which introduces the cosmological constant $\Lambda$ and the St\"uckelberg charge $S$ into the black hole parameters. Instead of the St\"uckelberg field $\phi^a$, we utilize the matrix $\gamma^2$ to seek solutions. To derive the St\"uckelberg field $\phi^a$ from a given matrix $\gamma^2$ for axisymmetric metrics, one must relax the constraint on the reference metric $f_{ab} = \eta_{ab}$. These solutions potentially serve as candidates for astrophysical black holes.
