This picture is an isometric embedding in three-dimensional Euclidean space of the static-limit surface of a rapidly rotating Kerr black hole. (A partial embedding of the event horizon is also shown.) The intrinsic geometry of the static limit contains a conical singularity at the poles, but the surface is topologically spherical.

The picture, and the detailed mathematical analysis that accompanies it, were produced by Nicos Pelavas, Nicholas Neary, and Kayll Lake, in a paper entitled Properties of the instantaneous Ergo Surface of a Kerr Black Hole. This paper is published as Class. Quant. Grav. 18 1319 (2001), and is posted at gr-qc/0012052.

I thank Kayll Lake for granting permission to use this picture as the Conference's official icon.
