Abstract The so-called extended hyperbolic complex (EHC) function method is used to study further the stationary axisymmetric Einstein--Maxwell theory with $p$ Abelian gauge fields (EM-$p$ theory, for short). Two EHC structural Riemann--Hilbert (RH) transformations are constructed and are then shown to give an infinite-dimensional symmetry group of the EM-$p$ theory. This symmetry group is verified to have the structure of semidirect product of Kac--Moody group $\widehat{SU(p+1,1)}$ and Virasoro group. Moreover, the infinitesimal forms of these two RH transformations are calculated and found to give exactly the same infinitesimal transformations as in previous author's paper by a different scheme. This demonstrates that the results obtained in the present paper provide some exponentiations of all the infinitesimal symmetry transformations obtained before.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
