Abstract
We study the chaotic dynamics of spinless extended bodies in a wide class of spherically symmetric spacetimes, which encompasses black-hole scenarios in many modified theories of gravity. We show that a spherically symmetric pulsating ball may have chaotic motion in this class of spacetimes. The cases of the Reissner–Nordström and Ayón-Beato–García black holes are analyzed in detail. The equations of motion for the extended bodies are obtained according to Dixon’s formalism, up to quadrupole order. Then, we use Melnikov’s method to show the presence of homoclinic intersections, which imply chaotic behavior, as a consequence of our assumption that the test body has an oscillating radius.

It welcomes in particular original articles on the following topics of current research:
Analytical general relativity, including its interface with geometrical analysis
Numerical relativity
Theoretical and observational cosmology
Relativistic astrophysics
Gravitational waves: data analysis, astrophysical sources and detector science
Extensions of general relativity
Supergravity
Gravitational aspects of string theory and its extensions
Quantum gravity: canonical approaches, in particular loop quantum gravity, and path integral approaches, in particular spin foams, Regge calculus and dynamical triangulations
Quantum field theory in curved spacetime
Non-commutative geometry and gravitation
Experimental gravity, in particular tests of general relativity
The journal publishes articles on all theoretical and experimental aspects of modern general relativity and gravitation, as well as book reviews and historical articles of special interest.
