Unexpected Symmetries of Kerr Black Hole Scattering
read the original abstract
Motivated by the recent introduction of the Dirac bracket framework to compute spinning observables for the scattering of Kerr black holes, we initiate the study of conserved quantities from an on-shell amplitude perspective. We establish new results for the conservation of energy, angular momentum, the R\"udiger invariant and the quadrupolar Carter constant using the spinning radial action extracted from the literature both in the probe limit and beyond, up to third post-Minkowskian order in the conservative sector. Furthermore, we offer a new perspective on the spin-shift symmetry of the radial action, clarifying its role in the dynamics. Finally, we define a new on-shell notion of asymptotic integrability in the Liouville sense and present strong evidence that it is surprisingly satisfied by a spinning probe in Kerr up to quartic order in the probe spin, to all orders in the post-Minkowskian expansion. We further establish integrability beyond the probe limit at low PM orders. Our results suggest important new implications for the dynamics of Kerr black holes.

On the integrability of root-Kerr probe dynamics
In the root-Kerr model, integrability holds to all spin orders at first order in probe charge with Newman-Janis vertices but extends only to spin-squared at second order and fails at spin-cubic, with asymptotic conser...

In the root-Kerr probe model, integrability holds to all spin orders at leading probe charge under Newman-Janis vertices but fails at spin-cubic order at second charge order and cannot be restored by further action de...

Universality in Relativistic Spinning Particle Models
Four relativistic spinning particle models (vector oscillator, spinor oscillator, spherical top, massive twistor) describe identical physics in free and interacting theories within the spin-magnitude-preserving sector.
