Abstract

We revisit the problem of extension of a Killing vector field in a spacetime which is solution to the Einstein-Maxwell equation. This extension has been proved to be unique in the case of a Killing vector field which is normal to a bifurcate horizon by Yu. Here we generalize the extension of the vector field to a strong null convex domain in an electrovacuum spacetime, inspired by the same technique used by Ionescu-Klainerman in the setting of Ricci flat manifolds. We also prove a result concerning non-extendibility: we show that one can find local, stationary electrovacuum extension of a Kerr-Newman solution in a full neighborhood of a point of the horizon (that is not on the bifurcation sphere) which admits no extension of the Hawking vector field. This generalizes the construction by Ionescu-Klainerman to the electrovacuum case.
