Integrability of some charged rotating supergravity black hole solutions in four and five dimensions

We study the integrability of geodesic flow in the background of some recently discovered charged rotating solutions of supergravity in four and five dimensions. Specifically, we work with the gauged multicharge Taub-NUT-Kerr-(anti-)de Sitter metric in four dimensions, and the U(1)3 gauged charged-Kerr-(anti-)de Sitter black hole solution of N=2 supergravity in five dimensions. We explicitly construct the nontrivial irreducible Killing tensors that permit separation of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation in these spacetimes. These results prove integrability for a large class of previously known supergravity solutions, including several BPS solitonic states. We also derive first-order equations of motion for particles in these backgrounds and examine some of their properties. Finally, we also examine the Klein-Gordon equation for a scalar field in these spacetimes and demonstrate separability.
