Stable circular orbits in higher-dimensional multi–black-hole spacetimes

Abstract: We consider the dynamics of particles, particularly focusing on circular orbits in the higher-dimensional Majumdar-Papapetrou (MP) spacetimes with two equal mass black holes. It is widely known that in the 5D Schwarzschild-Tangherlini and Myers-Perry backgrounds, there are no stable circular orbits. In contrast, we show that in the 5D MP background, stable circular orbits can always exist when the separation of two black holes is large enough. More precisely, for a large separation, stable circular orbits exis… Show more

“…We compare our results with the sequences of stable circular orbits in the 5D Majumdar-Papapetrou dihole spacetime with equal mass M * and separation a * [29]. In the vicinity of each pair of sources, we can see the difference between Newtonian gravity, where there exist sequences of stable circular orbits up to an arbitrary neighborhood of the point masses, and general relativity, where a pair of the innermost stable circular orbits appear due to the relativistic effects.…”

“…To approach this problem, we focus on stable circular massive particle orbits in the 5D Majumdar-Papapetrou dihole spacetime, which are caused by the many-body effect of the sources [29,30]. Although it should be noted that relativistic corrections in higher dimensions can affect particle dynamics at infinity, 3 this fact suggests that stable circular orbits also exist in Newtonian gravity.…”

“…Interestingly, one can see from ( 14) that the ISCO exists only in the case of 4-dimensional spacetime. In higher dimensional Schwarzschild-Tangherlini spacetime, there is no ISCO, which indicates absence of stable circular orbits as in the case of the higher dimensional Majumdar-Papapetrou spacetime [24]. It may be treated as strong evidence that the higher dimensions do not play a role in our Universe, which consists of bounded systems.…”

“…Physically, equation ( 16) can be interpreted as a phenomenon related to the motion of a massive-charged particle in a circular orbit [51,52] with a constant radius. Meanwhile, equation (15) represents phenomena related to the motion of a massive-charged particle in a noncircular orbit.…”
