In this paper, we investigated the effect of dark matter on the weak deflection angle by black holes at the galactic center. We consider three known dark matter density profiles such as the Cold Dark Matter, Scalar Field Dark Matter, and the Universal Rotation Curve from the Burkert profile. To achieve this goal, we used how the positional angles are measured by the Ishihara et al. method based on the Gauss–Bonnet theorem on the optical metric. With the help of the non-asymptotic form of the Gauss-Bonnet theorem, the longitudinal angle difference is also calculated. First, we find the emergence of apparent divergent terms on the said profiles, which indicates that the spacetime describing the black hole-dark matter combination is non-asymptotic. We showed that these apparent divergent terms vanish when the distance of the source and receiver are astronomically distant from the black hole. Using the current observational data in the Milky Way and M87 galaxies, we find interesting behaviors of how the weak deflection angle varies with the impact parameter, which gives us some hint on how dark matter interacts with the null particles for each dark matter density profile. We conclude that since these deviations are evident near the dark matter core radius, the weak deflection angle offers a better alternative for dark matter detection than using the deviation from the black hole shadow. With the dark matter profiles explored in this study, we find that the variation of the values for weak deflection angle strongly depends on the dark matter mass on a particular profile.

Motivated by recent work on the Modified Maxwell (ModMax) black holes [Phys Lett B 10.1016/j.physletb.2020.136011], which are invariant in duality rotations and conformal transformations founded in [Phys Rev D 10.1103/PhysRevD.102.121703], we probe its effects on the shadow cast, weak field gravitational lensing, and neutrino propagation in its vicinity. Using the EHT data for the shadow diameter of Sgr. A* and M87*, and LIGO/VIRGO experiments for the dyonic ModMax black hole perturbations, we find constraints for ModMax parameters such as Qm and the screening factor γ. We also analyze how the shadow radius behaves as perceived by a static observer and one that is comoving with the cosmic expansion. The effect of the ModMax parameters is constant for a static observer, and we found That it varies when the observer is comoving with cosmic expansion. We also analyzed its effect on the weak deflection angle by exploiting the Gauss–Bonnet theorem and its application to Einstein ring formation. We also consider the finite distance effect and massive particle deflection. Our results indicate that the far approximation of massive particle gives the largest deflection angle and amplifies the effect of Qm and γ. Then we also calculate the quasinormal modes and greybody bounds which encode unique characteristic features of the dyonic ModMax black hole. With the advent of improving space technology, we reported that it is possible to detect the deviation caused through the shadow cast, Einstein rings, quasinormal modes, and neutrino oscillations.

The links between the deformation parameter β of the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) to the two free parameters ω ^ and γ of the running Newtonian coupling constant of the Asymptotic Safe gravity (ASG) program, has been conducted recently in [Phys. Rev. D 105 (2022) 12, 124054. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.105.124054] In this paper, we test these findings by calculating and examining the shadow and quasinormal modes of black holes, and demonstrate that the approach provides a theoretical framework for exploring the interplay between quantum gravity and GUP. Our results confirm the consistency of ASG and GUP, and offer new insights into the nature of black holes and their signatures. The implications of these findings for future studies in quantum gravity are also discussed.

In this paper, we study the deflection angle for wormhole-like static aether solution by using Gibbons and Werner technique in non-plasma, plasma, and dark matter mediums. For this purpose, we use optical spacetime geometry to calculate the Gaussian optical curvature, then implement the Gauss–Bonnet theorem in weak field limits. Moreover, we compute the deflection angle by using a technique known as Keeton and Petters technique. Furthermore, we analyze the graphical behavior of the bending angle ψ with respect to the impact parameter b, mass m as an integration constant, and parameter q in non-plasma and plasma mediums. We examine that the deflection angle is exponentially increasing as direct with charge. Also, we observe that for small values of b, ψ increases, and for large values of b the angle decreases. We also considered analysis to the shadow cast of the wormhole relative to an observer at various locations. Comparing it the Schwarzschild shadow, shadow cast is possible for wormhole as r<2m. At r>2m, the Schwarzschild is larger. As r→∞, we have seen that the behavior of the shadow, as well as the weak deflection angle, approaches that of the Schwarzschild black hole. Overall, the effect of plasma tends to decrease the value of the observables due to the wormhole geometry.

The interaction of quantum detector models with fields in curved spacetimes provides fundamental insights into phenomena such as Hawking and Unruh radiation. While standard models typically assume a minimal coupling between the detector and the field, physically motivated derivative couplings, which are sensitive to field gradients, have been less explored, particularly in the context of modified gravity theories. In this paper, we develop a general framework to analyze the acceleration radiation from a two-level atomic detector with a derivative coupling undergoing a radial geodesic infall into a generic static, spherically symmetric black hole. We derive a general integral expression for the excitation probability and apply it to two distinct spacetimes. For an extended uncertainty principle (EUP) black hole, we demonstrate that the detector radiates with a perfect thermal spectrum at the precise Hawking temperature, reinforcing the universality of this phenomenon. For a black hole solution in a Ricci-coupled Bumblebee gravity model, the radiation is also thermal. Still, its temperature is modified in direct correspondence with the theory’s Lorentz-violating parameters, consistent with the modified Hawking temperature. Furthermore, we demonstrate that derivative coupling results in a significantly enhanced entropy flux compared to minimal coupling models. Our results establish acceleration radiation as a sensitive probe of near-horizon physics and demonstrate that this phenomenon can provide distinct observational signatures to test General Relativity (GR) and alternative theories of gravity in the strong-field regime.

This paper is devoted to computing the weak deflection angle for the Kalb–Ramond traversable wormhole solution in plasma and dark matter mediums by using the method of Gibbons and Werner. To acquire our results, we evaluate Gaussian optical curvature by utilizing the Gauss–Bonnet theorem in the weak field limits. We also investigate the graphical influence of the deflection angle α˜ with respect to the impact parameter σ and the minimal radius r0 in the plasma medium. Moreover, we derive the deflection angle by using a different method known as the Keeton and Petters method. We also examine that if we remove the effects of plasma and dark matter, the results become identical to that of the non-plasma case.

Motivated by the recent study about the extended uncertainty principle (EUP) black holes, we present in this study its extension called the generalized extended uncertainty principle (GEUP) black holes. In particular, we investigated the GEUP effects on astrophysical and quantum black holes. First, we derive the expression for the shadow radius to investigate its behavior as perceived by a static observer located near and far from the black hole. Constraints to the large fundamental length scale, L*, up to two standard deviations level were also found using the Event Horizont Telescope (EHT) data: for black hole Sgr. A*, L*=5.716×1010 m, while for M87* black hole, L*=3.264×1013 m. Under the GEUP effect, the value of the shadow radius behaves the same way as in the Schwarzschild case due to a static observer, and the effect only emerges if the mass, M, of the black hole is around the order of magnitude of L* (or the Planck length, lPl). In addition, the GEUP effect increases the shadow radius for astrophysical black holes, but the reverse happens for quantum black holes. We also explored GEUP effects to the weak and strong deflection angles as an alternative analysis. For both realms, a time-like particle gives a higher value for the weak deflection angle. Similar to the shadow, the deviation is seen when the values of L* and M are close. The strong deflection angle gives more sensitivity to GEUP deviation at smaller masses in the astrophysical scenario. However, the weak deflection angle is a better probe in the micro world.

In this paper, an analytic generalization of the weak field deflection angle (WDA) is derived by utilizing the current non-asymptotically flat generalization of the Gauss–Bonnet theorem. The derived formula is valid for any Schwarzschild-like spacetime, which deviates from the classical Schwarzschild case through some constant parameters. This work provided four examples, including Schwarzschild-like solutions in the context of Bumblebee gravity theory and the Kalb–Ramond framework, as well as one example from a black hole surrounded by soliton dark matter. These examples explore distinct mechanisms of Lorentz symmetry breaking, with results that are either new or in agreement with existing literature. The WDA formula provided a simple calculation, where approximations based on some conditions can be done directly on it, skipping the preliminary steps. For the shadow size analysis, it is shown how it depends solely on the parameter associated with the metric coefficient in the time coordinate. A general formula for the constrained parameter is also derived based on the Event Horizon Collaboration (EHT) observational results. Finally, the work realized further possible generalizations on other black hole models, such as RN-like, dS/AdS-like black hole solutions, and even black hole solutions in higher dimensions.

In this paper, we study rotating black holes in symmergent gravity, and use deviations from the Kerr black hole to constrain the parameters of the symmergent gravity. Symmergent gravity induces the gravitational constant G and quadratic curvature coefficient c O from the flat spacetime matter loops. In the limit in which all fields are degenerate in mass, the vacuum energy V O can be wholly expressed in terms of G and c O . We parametrize deviation from this degenerate limit by a parameter α ^ such that the black hole spacetime is dS for α ^ < 1 and AdS for α ^ > 1 . In constraining the symmergent parameters c O and α ^ , we utilize the EHT observations on the M87* and Sgr. A* black holes. We investigate first the modifications in the photon sphere and shadow size, and find significant deviations in the photonsphere radius and the shadow radius with respect to the Kerr solution. We also find that the geodesics of time-like particles are more sensitive to symmergent gravity effects than the null geodesics. Finally, we analyze the weak field limit of the deflection angle, where we use the Gauss-Bonnet theorem for taking into account the finite distance of the source and the receiver to the lensing object. Remarkably, the distance of the receiver (or source) from the lensing object greatly influences the deflection angle. Moreover, c O needs be negative for a consistent solution. In our analysis, the rotating black hole acts as a particle accelerator and possesses the sensitivity to probe the symmergent gravity.

We investigate the shadow, deflection angle, and the greybody bounding of a Schwarzschild-AdS/dS black hole in scale-dependent gravity. We used the EHT data to constrain the parameter ϵ . We have found that within the 1 σ level of uncertainty, ϵ M 0 ranges at 10 - 11 - 10 - 16 orders of magnitude for Sgr. A*, and 10 - 11 - 10 - 17 for M87*. Using these parameters, we explored how the shadow radius behaves as perceived by a static observer. Using the known parameters for Sgr. A* and M87*, we found different shadow cast behavior near the cosmological horizon even if the same scaling parameters were used. We explored the deflection angle α ^ in the weak field limit for both massive and null particles, in addition to the effect of finite distances using the non-asymptotically flat version of the Gauss-Bonnet theorem. We have found that the α ^ strongly depends on massive particles. Tests on ϵ ’s effect using Sgr. A* is only along points of low impact parameters. For M87*, only the scaled BH in AdS type can be tested at high impact parameters at the expense of very low value for α ^ . We study the rigorous bound on the greybody factor for scalar field emitted from black holes in the theory and show the bound on the transmission probability. The effects of the scale-dependent gravity on the greybody factors are investigated, and the results indicate that the bound on the greybody factor in this case is less than the bound for the Schwarzschild black hole.
