crossing r = constant → +∞ outwards in the direction of increasing r between
the future null cones u = u 0 and u = u 1 > u 0 (say). The polar angles θ, φ arise
from the parametrisation of (3.76):
X =
r 2 + a 2 sin θ cos φ , Y =
r 2 + a 2 sin θ sin φ , Z = r cos θ ,
(3.92)
with 0 ≤ θ ≤ π and 0 ≤ φ ≤ 2 π. Detailed derivations of the 3-volume elements in
(3.90) and (3.91) can be found in [19]. We deduce from (3.90) and (3.91) that P i (u)
and S ij (u) satisfy

The region of space-time in which (3.95) holds corresponds to large positive values
of r and in this region of space-time, in which we are evaluating the integrals (3.95)
and (3.96), we can take X = r sin θ cos φ , Y = r sin θ sin φ , Z = r cos θ and
thus r 2 = X 2 + Y 2 + Z 2 . We see from (3.78) that if ˆ
v i = δ i
0 we can write, for large
values of r,
r ,i = ˆ
