abstract

The circular motion of charged test particles in the gravitational field of a Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black hole in Anti de Sitter space-time is investigated, using a set of independent parameters, such as charge Q, mass M and cosmological constant $\Lambda= -3/l^2$ of the space-time, and charge to mass ratio $\epsilon=q/m$ of the test particles. Classification of different spatial regions where circular motion is allowed, is presented, showing in particular, the presence of orbits at special limiting values, $M=4/\sqrt{6} Q$ and $l=6 Q$. Thermodynamically, these values are known to occur when the black hole is on the verge of a second order phase transition, there by, giving an interesting connection between thermodynamics and geodesics of black holes. We also comment on the possibility of such a connection for black holes in flat spacetime in a box.

Topological charge and black hole photon spheres in massive gravity

gr-qc · 2025-09-04 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

In dRGT massive gravity, static spherically symmetric black holes exhibit zero, one, or two photon spheres whose topological charges and stability patterns differ from Einstein gravity and from horizonless compact objects.
