Pereira, J. G.; Vargas, T.; Zhang, C. M. Axial-vector torsion and the teleparallel Kerr spacetime. (English) Zbl 0973.83034 Classical Quantum Gravity 18, No. 5, 833-841 (2001). Summary: In the context of the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity, we obtain the tetrad and the torsion fields of the stationary axisymmetric Kerr spacetime. It is shown that, in the slow rotation and weak-field approximations, the axial-vector torsion plays the role of the gravitomagnetic component of the gravitational field, and is thus responsible for the Lense-Thirring effect.
