We study chaos dynamics of spinning particles in Kerr spacetime of rotating black holes use the Papapetrou equations by numerical integration. Because of spin, this system exists many chaos solutions, and exhibits some exceptional dynamic character. We investigate the relations between the orbits chaos and the spin magnitude S, pericenter, polar angle and Kerr rotation parameter a by means of a kind of brand new Fast Lyapulov Indicator (FLI) which is defined in general relativity. The classical definition of Lyapulov exponent (LE) perhaps fails in curve spacetime. And we emphasize that the Poincar\'e sections cannot be used to detect chaos for this case. Via calculations, some new interesting conclusions are found: though chaos is easier to emerge with bigger S, but not always depends on S monotonically; the Kerr parameter a has a contrary action on the chaos occurrence. Furthermore, the spin of particles can destroy the symmetry of the orbits about the equatorial plane. And for some special initial conditions, the orbits have equilibrium points.

  1. Spin-Hair Induced Chaos of Spinning Test Particles in Rotating Hairy Black Holes

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Spinning test particles around rotating hairy black holes show finite-time instability in localized regions of the (spin, hair-parameter) plane that reorganize the strong-field phase space compared to Kerr.

  2. Astrophysically Realistic Secondary Spins Trigger Chaos in Schwarzschild Spacetime and Discernible Gravitational Wave Signatures

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Chaos arises for realistic secondary spins in Schwarzschild EMRIs and imprints measurable signatures on gravitational waves, including higher spectral flatness.

  3. Chaotic motion of particles around a Schwarzschild black hole in a swirling electromagnetic background

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Numerical chaos indicators applied to the Schwarzschild-Bertotti-Robinson-Bonnor-Melvin family show that chaos occurs without swirling and that electromagnetic field strengths and directions tightly restrict bound orbits.
