Resumen:
The authors apply the Melnikov method for
identifying chaos in near integrable systems to relativistic particle
motion around a Schwarzschild black hole. They start by giving a
self-contained introduction to the Melnikov method together with some
relevant background on dynamical systems. Then they show that a
relativistic particle was unstable circular orbits around a
Schwarzschild black hole, and that each one of these gives rise to a
homoclinic orbit in phase space, which tends to the unstable one for t
to +or- infinity . Finally, the authors use the Melnikov method to
conclude that, under most periodic perturbations of the black-hole
metric, the homoclinic orbit becomes chaotic.
