Abstract
Foundations are laid for studying weak electromagnetic fields around a rotating black hole. In particular, Maxwell's equations in the Kerr geometry of the black hole are reduced to a single second-order partial differential equation. Although this differential equation is probably not separable, it is sufficiently simple to yield theorems about electromagnetic properties of black holes.Keywords
