Dilemma • In need of a pragmatic description at the level of application • Lack of good theoretic foundation
Motivations for Studying Kerr • Waveform generated by Rotating Star • Extreme Mass Ratio Inspiral Problem (LISA Template) • Stability of Black Hole • ………..

Conserved Quantity for Gravitational Radiation Field • Maxwell Theory: Total Charge Conserved • General Relativity: • Mass, Momentum, Angular Momentum are not conserved!
Newman Penrose ConstantsNewman-Penrose Constants Absolutely Conserved at Null Infinity
NP const defined NP constant---independent on the wavefront that intersects infinity # of NP constants=10
NP constants constructed from the multipole expansion of the ingoing radiation field
Definition of NP constants reads: # of NP constants=10 u -- time measured at null infinity
Newman Penrose Constants …..Another problem is to understand the significance (either mathematical or physical) of a certain curious set of ten exactly conserved asymptotically defined quantities …..
