A re-examination of the Carter solutions of Einstein's field equations

The study of geodesics in space-time is essential to a comprehensive understanding of the physics of the field. Global properties, e.g. the singularity structure and completeness of space-time, can be related to the geodesic properties, thus it is through the solutions of the geodesic equation of motion that many of the global properties of space-time can be obtained in an easily interpretable form. However, it is usually very difficult to integrate the geodesic equations for the particle motion in the presence of a gravitational field (Introduction, p. 1)
