Scattering cold Jupiters disrupt inner mean-motion resonances via secular perturbations from their orbital history, driving resonance circulation in most 2:1 and 3:2 configurations and explaining the Kepler period ratio distribution.

Sub-Neptunes around metal-rich stars have a 42.6% conditional probability of cold Jupiters versus 14.5% for super-Earths, showing a metallicity-dependent correlation absent in the latter.
Observational analysis of 43 systems finds no significant overall correlation between gas giant occurrence and inner small planet properties but reports hints of a trend in metal-rich systems favoring lower-density planets with similar core masses.
