In this PhD thesis, which has been nominated for publication in this series by the Astronomical Institute of Charles University, Prague, the author investigates the orbital evolution of an initially thin stellar disc around a supermassive black hole, considering various perturbative sources of gravity. His results, obtained by both direct numerical N-body modelling and by standard perturbation methods, offer a viable theoretical explanation for the observed configuration of young stars in the Galactic centre. This makes a significant contribution to a topic of great interest in contemporary...
