On the eigenvalues of the fermionic angular eigenfunctions in the Kerr metric

In view of a result recently published in the context of deformation theory of linear Hamiltonian systems, we reconsider the eigenvalue problem associated to the angular equation arising after the separation of the Dirac equation in the Kerr metric and we show how efficiently a quasi-linear first order PDE for the angular eigenvalues can be derived. We also prove that it is not possible to obtain an ordinary differential equation for the eigenvalues where the role of the independent variable is played by the particle energy or the black hole mass. Finally, we construct new perturbative expansions for the eigenvalues in the Kerr case and obtain an asymptotic formula for the eigenvalues in the case of a Kerr naked singularity.
