We consider a collimation and acceleration mechanism for relativistic jets emanating from an inner region of a relativistic accretion disk surrounding a Kerr black hole, with Keplerian angular momentum under disk radiation fields, taking into account the effect of radiation drag. When the jets consist of electron–positron pair plasmas and the disk luminosity is of the order of the Eddington lumino...
