    Gyroscope precession frequency analysis of a five-dimensional charged rotating Kaluza-Klein black hole
    (2020) Azreg-Ainou, Mustapha; Jamil, Mubasher; Lin, Kai; 0000-0001-9662-1546; 0000-0002-3244-7195; X-3974-2019
    We study the spin precession frequency of a test gyroscope attached to a stationary observer in the five-dimensional rotating Kaluza-Klein black hole (RKKBH). We derive the conditions under which the test gyroscope moves along a timelike trajectory in this geometry, and the regions where the spin precession frequency diverges. The magnitude of the gyroscope precession frequency around the KK black hole diverges at two spatial locations outside the event horizon. However, in the static case, the behavior of the Lense-Thirring frequency of a gyroscope around the KK black hole is similar to the ordinary Schwarzschild black hole. Since a rotating Kaluza-Klein black hole is a generalization of the Kerr-Newman black hole, we present two mass-independent schemes to distinguish these two spacetimes.
