The geometry of field sheet foliations of spacetime in force-free electrodynamics
ORAL
Abstract
In this talk, I will present the geometry of foliations of a spacetime whose distributions are kernels of a force-free electromagnetic field. Force-free electrodynamics (FFE) in curved spacetime is the natural setting for black hole magnetospheres. In particular, the Blandford-Znajek mechanism is an example of FFE. I will conclude the talk by presenting strategies for obtaining exact solutions for FFE.
