Recasts the eccentric Kozai–Lidov effect as a true resonance, clarifying its dynamical origin and structure.
The work interprets the eccentric Kozai–Lidov (EKL) effect in hierarchical triples as a resonance phenomenon rather than only a secular modulation. By framing EKL in resonance language, it aims to clarify why large coupled oscillations of eccentricity and inclination arise and how the resonant domain is organized in phase space. This perspective helps connect Kozai–Lidov dynamics to broader resonance theory, which can improve intuition and classification of long-term behaviors in triple systems.
