Strong-field tidal distortions of rotating black holes. III. Embeddings in hyperbolic three-space

In previous work, we developed tools for quantifying the tidal distortion of a black hole's event horizon due to an orbiting companion. These tools use techniques which require large mass ratios (companion mass μ much smaller than black hole mass M), but can be used for arbitrary bound orbits a...
