A method for solving geodesic equations in Schwarzschild–de Sitter space–times and higher dimensional Schwarzschild space–times is presented. The solutions are derived from Jacobi's inversion problem on a Riemann surface of genus 2 restricted to the set of zeros of the theta function, which is called a theta–divisor. In its final form, the solutions are given in terms of derivatives of Kleinian sigma functions. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
