On the Kerr metric in a synchronous reference frame

Abstract

The Kerr metric is considered in a synchronous frame of reference obtained by using proper time and initial conditions for particles that freely move along a certain set of trajectories as coordinates. Modifying these coordinates in a certain way (keeping their interpretation as initial values at large distances), we still have a synchronous frame and the direct analogue of the Lemaitre metric, the singularities of which are exhausted by the physical Kerr singularity (the singularity ring).
