abstract
Geodesic dynamics is regular in the fields of isolated stationary black holes. However, due to the presence of unstable periodic orbits, it easily becomes chaotic under various perturbations. Here we examine what amount of chaoticity is induced in Schwarzschild space-time by a presence of an additional source. Following astrophysical motivation, we specifically consider thin rings or discs lying symmetrically around the hole, and describe the total field in terms of exact static and axially symmetric solutions of Einstein's equations. The growth of chaos in time-like geodesic motion is illustrated on Poincar\'e sections, on time series of position or velocity and their Fourier spectra, and on time evolution of the orbital `latitudinal action'. The results are discussed in dependence on the mass and position of the ring/disc and on geodesic parameters (energy and angular momentum). In the Introduction, we also add an overview of the literature.

Exact black hole solution with anisotropic matter and magnetic field shows the matter parameter reduces local chaos (Lyapunov exponent) while the magnetic field drives qualitative shifts in global chaos (Poincaré sections).
