چکیده

A new formulation of Carter’s constant for geodesic motion in Kerr black holes is given. It is shown that Carter’s constant corresponds to the total angular momentum plus a precisely defined part which is quadratic in the linear momenta. The characterization is exact in the weak field limit obtained by letting the gravitational constant go to zero. It is suggested that the new form can be useful in current studies of the dynamics of extreme mass ratio inspiral (EMRI) systems emitting gravitational radiation.

Spacetime encodings. II. Pictures of integrability

I visually explore the features of geodesic orbits in arbitrary stationary axisymmetric vacuum (SAV) spacetimes that are constructed from a complex Ernst potential. Some of the geometric features of integrable and chaotic orbits are highlighted. The geodesic problem for these SAV spacetimes is rewritten as a 2 degree of freedom problem and the connection between current ideas in dynamical syste...

Einstein -Weyl structures corresponding to diagonal Kähler Bianchi IX metrics

We analyse in a systematic way the four dimensionnal Einstein-Weyl spaces equipped with a diagonal Kähler Bianchi IX metric. In particular, we show that the subclass of EinsteinWeyl structures with a constant conformal scalar curvature is the one with a conformally scalar flat but not necessarily scalar flat metric ; we exhibit its 3-parameter distance and Weyl one-form. This extends previous a...

The Subtle Violence of the Caregiving Crisis

Thank you for printing Rosalynn Carter’s editorial on addressing the caregiving crisis (1), and bless Mrs Carter for helping to draw attention to this crisis. My husband Ben and I recently buried Ben’s 85-year-old father, Berton, after spending 31⁄2 years as his primary caregivers. Berton was a member of the “Greatest Generation”; he tirelessly served his country and his community throughout hi...
