Abstract: An algorithm is presented that incorporates the tensor form of Maxwell's equations in a general relativistic electromagnetic particle-in-cell code. The code simplifies to Schwartzschild space-time for a non-spinning central mass. The particle advance routine uses a fourth-order Runge-Kutta algorithm to integrate the four-velocity form of Lorentz force. The current density is calculated using the curved space-time of the metric.
