Quadrupolar tidal effects destroy the integrability of black hole geodesics: analytic proof and numerical evidence of chaos

Paul Ramond

The paper proves analytically and demonstrates numerically that a tidally induced quadrupole moment in a non‑spinning body destroys the Carter constant of Kerr geodesics, making th…

Octupole moments and the non-universality of free-fall in general relativity

Abraham I. Harte, Paul Ramond

Extended bodies in general relativity do not necessarily fall along geodesics, but can be accelerated. These accelerations depend on an object's angular momentum, as well as on its…

Symplectic mechanics of relativistic spinning compact bodies. III. quadratic-in-spin integrability in Type-D Einstein spacetimes: persistence and breakdown

Paul Ramond, Soichiro Isoyama, Adrien Druart

We investigate the integrability of spinning compact body dynamics at quadratic order in spin in four-dimensional Einstein spacetimes admitting a non-degenerate Killing--Yano tenso…

On the integrability of extended test body dynamics around black holes

Paul Ramond

In general relativity, the motion of an extended test body is influenced by its proper rotation, or spin. We present a covariant and physically self-consistent Hamiltonian framewor…

Symplectic mechanics of relativistic spinning compact bodies II.: Canonical formalism in the Schwarzschild spacetime

Paul Ramond, Soichiro Isoyama

This work constitutes the second part of a series of studies that aim to utilise tools from Hamiltonian mechanics to investigate the motion of an extended body in general relativit…
