Review of Lidov–Kozai resonance effects across planets, discs, binaries, and triple stars, highlighting its role in secular stability and migration.
The Lidov–Kozai (LK) resonance is presented as a secular mechanism that can both protect highly inclined three-body systems and drive large coupled eccentricity–inclination variations. This review synthesizes how LK dynamics appears across multiple astrophysical contexts: inclined two-planet exosystems, planets interacting with protoplanetary discs, migrating planets in binary stars (even without resonance capture), and triple-star evolution with LK cycles plus tides. It clarifies that LK-driven evolution is not confined to a single scale or architecture, and connects LK cycles to stability pathways and to migration scenarios such as short-period multiples in triples.
Invited-style review synthesizing results and physical interpretations of Lidov–Kozai dynamics across several three-body settings.
