Application of Symmetric Explicit Symplectic Integrators in Non-Rotating Konoplya and Zhidenko Black Hole Spacetime

Abstract

In this study, we construct symmetric explicit symplectic schemes for the non-rotating Konoplya and Zhidenko black hole spacetime that effectively maintain the stability of energy errors and solve the tangent vectors from the equations of motion and the variational equations of the system. The fast Lyapunov indicators and Poincaré section are calculated to verify the effectiveness of the smaller alignment index. Meanwhile, different algorithms are used to separately calculate the equations of motion and variation equations, resulting in correspondingly smaller alignment indexes. The numerical results indicate that the smaller alignment index obtained by using a global symplectic algorithm is the fastest method for distinguishing between regular and chaotic cases. The smaller alignment index is used to study the effects of parameters on the dynamic transition from order to chaos. If initial conditions and other parameters are appropriately chosen, we observe that an increase in energy E or the deformation parameter η can easily lead to chaos. Similarly, chaos easily occurs when the angular momentum L is small enough or the magnetic parameter Q stays within a suitable range. By varying the initial conditions of the particles, a distribution plot of the smaller alignment in the X–Z plane of the black hole is obtained. It is found that the particle orbits exhibit a remarkably rich structure. Researching the motion of charged particles around a black hole contributes to our understanding of the mechanisms behind black hole accretion and provides valuable insights into the initial formation process of an accretion disk.
