Geodesic motion around a supersymmetric AdS5 black hole

Abstract

In this article the geodesic motion of test particles in the spacetime of a supersymmetric AdS${}_5$ black hole is studied. The equations of motion are derived and solved in terms of the Weierstrass $\wp$, $\sigma$ and $\zeta$ functions. Effective potentials and parametric diagrams are used to analyze and characterize timelike, lightlike and spacelike particle motion and a list of possible orbit types is given. Furthermore, various plots of orbits are presented.
