Abstract
The structure of electromagnetic and gravitational fields near the singular ring of the Kerr metric is analyzed. An approximate joint solution of the system of Maxwell-Einstein equations is given for a metric with the parameters of an electron; this solution describes a microgeon, a model of an electron. A new interpretation of the two-sheet nature of the Kerr metric is given.
