AI中文摘要：
在广义相对论中，测试质量在旋转黑洞周围的运动由克尔测地线描述。由于克尔时空的对称性，这些测地线拥有四个运动常数，使得对应的哈密顿系统可积，这种可积性是模拟非对称质量比旋近的大部分分析框架的基础，而非对称质量比旋近是未来引力波探测器的关键源。然而，真实的致密天体并非测试质量：它们的内部结构与背景曲率耦合。本研究表明，对于一般的潮汐耦合和一般的克尔自旋，具有潮汐诱导四极矩的非旋转天体不存在保持守恒的测地线卡特常数的变形，因此主导阶潮汐动力学通常不可积。该证明是解析的，依赖两个关键要素：任意背景时空中潮汐动力学的协变哈密顿公式，其与测地线问题处于同一相空间；以及从克尔时空的代数和基灵对称性导出的曲率潮汐标量与测地线卡特常数之间的新关系。我们用潮汐扰动动力学的数值诊断补充该结果，包括庞加莱截面、李雅普诺夫指数和逃逸时间图，这些揭示了相空间中的混沌结构，如随机层、对初始条件的敏感性以及分形盆地边界，与解析的不可积性结果一致。
英文摘要：
In general relativity, the motion of a test mass around a rotating black hole is described by Kerr geodesics. Owing to the symmetries of the Kerr spacetime, these geodesics possess four constants of motion, rendering the associated Hamiltonian system integrable. This integrability underlies much of the analytical framework used to model asymmetric-mass-ratio inspirals, key sources for future gravitational-wave detectors. Real compact bodies, however, are not test masses: their internal structure couples to the background curvature. In this work, we show that a non-spinning body endowed with a tidally induced quadrupole admits no deformation of the geodesic Carter constant that remains conserved, for generic tidal couplings and generic Kerr spin. Consequently, the leading-order tidal dynamics is generically non-integrable. The proof is analytic and relies on two key ingredients: a covariant Hamiltonian formulation of tidal dynamics on the same phase space as the geodesic problem, valid in arbitrary background spacetimes, and a novel relation between curvature tidal scalars and the geodesic Carter constant derived from the algebraic and Killing symmetries of Kerr spacetime. We complement this result with numerical diagnostics of the tidally perturbed dynamics, including Poincaré sections, Lyapunov exponents, and escape-time maps. These reveal chaotic structures in phase space, such as stochastic layers, sensitivity to initial conditions, and fractal basin boundaries, consistently with the analytic non-integrability result.
