Relativistic Dynamics with Cosmological Constant:. Circular Geodesic Motion of Test Particles
Abstract
We present results of our recent studies concerning effects of Λ > 0 in astrophysically motivated problems. Here we summarize properties of circular geodesic motion of test particles in the equatorial plane of Kerr-de Sitter black-hole and naked-singularity spacetimes. Along with the standard analysis of geodesic equations of the ordinary geometry, we introduce alternative inertial forces formalism defined within the General Theory of Relativity in the framework of optical reference geometry.
