چکیده
In [Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 061102 (2007)], we announced the complete integrability of geodesic motion in the general higher-dimensional rotating black-hole spacetimes. In the present paper we prove all the necessary steps leading to this conclusion. In particular, we demonstrate the independence of the constants of motion and the fact that they Poisson commute. The relation to a different set of constants of motion constructed in [J. High Energy Phys. 02 (2007) 004] is also briefly discussed.

Complete integrability of geodesic motion in general higher-dimensional rotating black-hole spacetimes.
We explicitly exhibit n-1=[D/2]-1 constants of motion for geodesics in the general D-dimensional Kerr-NUT-AdS rotating black hole spacetime, arising from contractions of even powers of the 2-form obtained by contracting the geodesic velocity with the dual of the contraction of the velocity with the (D-2)-dimensional Killing-Yano tensor. These constants of motion are functionally independent of ...
متن کاملIntegrability of spinning particle motion in higher-dimensional rotating black hole spacetimes.
We study the motion of a classical spinning particle (with spin degrees of freedom described by a vector of Grassmann variables) in higher-dimensional general rotating black hole spacetimes with a cosmological constant. In all dimensions n we exhibit n bosonic functionally independent integrals of spinning particle motion, corresponding to explicit and hidden symmetries generated from the princ...
متن کاملChaotic motion in multi-black hole spacetimes and holographic screens
We investigate the geodesic motion in D−dimensional Majumdar-Papapetrou multi-black hole spacetimes and find that the qualitative features of the D = 4 case are shared by the higher dimensional configurations. The motion of timelike and null particles is chaotic, the phase space being divided into basins of attraction which are separated by a fractal boundary, with a fractal dimension dB . The ...
متن کاملBlack holes, hidden symmetries, and complete integrability
The study of higher-dimensional black holes is a subject which has recently attracted vast interest. Perhaps one of the most surprising discoveries is a realization that the properties of higher-dimensional black holes with the spherical horizon topology and described by the Kerr-NUT-(A)dS metrics are very similar to the properties of the well known four-dimensional Kerr metric. This remarkable...
متن کاملKruskal Dynamics for Radial Geodesics
The total spacetime manifold for a Schwarzschild black hole (BH) is believed to be described by the Kruskal coordinates and , where r and t are the conventional Schwarzschild radial and time coordinates respectively. The relationship between r and t for a test particle moving along a radial or non-radial geodesic is well known. Similarly, the expression for the vacuum Schwarzschild derivative f...
