Abstract

In this paper a rotating stationary solution of the vacuum Einstein equations with a cosmological constant is exhibited which reduces to de Sitter’s interior cosmological solution when the angular momentum goes to zero. This solution is locally isomorphic to de Sitter space, but as one approaches the axis of rotation it has a novel feature: a conical event horizon. This suggests that in reality rotating compact objects have a vortex structure similar to that conjectured for rotating superfluid droplets. In the limit of slow rotation the vortex core would be nearly cylindrical and the space-time inside � �
