Acceleration of particles as a universal property of rotating black holes

Abstract

We argue that the possibility of having infinite energy in the center-of-mass frame of colliding particles is a generic property of rotating black holes. We suggest a general model--independent derivation valid for dirty black holes. The earlier observations for the Kerr or Kerr-Newman metrics are confirmed and generalized.
