Abstract
Geodesic motion of a point particle in Kerr geometry has three constants of motion, energy , azimuthal angular momentum , and Carter constant . Under the adiabatic approximation, radiation reaction effect is characterized by the time evolution of these constants. In this letter we show that the scheme to evaluate them can be dramatically simplified.
