Optical Characteristics and Frequency Shifts of Quartic Wormholes in $f(T,τ)$ Gravity

Abstract

This work explores traversable wormhole solutions characterized by a quartic inverse-power density profile within $f(T,τ)$ gravity. A specific inverse-power density profile, characterized by proportional to $1/r^4$ is introduced to establish the corresponding exact form of the shape function. The derived configuration exhibits all the necessary geometrical features of a traversable wormhole, such as throat formation, flaring-out behavior, and acceptable asymptotic characteristics. To gain further insight into the matter sector, we analyze the corresponding radial profiles of the energy density and pressure components. The throat region is characterised by negative radial pressure and null energy condition violation, both of which are relevant to the exotic matter content of the wormhole solution. To examine the lensing characteristics of the obtained spacetime, we employ the Gauss-Bonnet formalism to evaluate the gravitational deflection angle. Our findings indicate that the parameters $γ$ and $ρ_0$ exert a considerable influence on the resulting light trajectories. The perturbative behavior of the obtained configuration is investigated within the scalar and electromagnetic field sectors. Subsequently, a novel electromagnetic potential is introduced to examine its influence on the radial variation of the red-blue shifts characteristics. Our findings establish a unified picture of the geometrical, perturbative, and optical characteristics of quartic density-supported wormholes.

Photon propagation and black hole imaging in Kruglov nonlinear electrodynamics

Nonlinear electrodynamics (NLED) modifies photon propagation through an effective optical geometry, allowing optical phenomena to deviate from those predicted solely by the underlying spacetime metric. In this work, we revisit the Kruglov model, which generalizes Born--Infeld electrodynamics, and investigate the corresponding null geodesics in theeffective geometry through direct numerical integration, without relying on strong-field analytical approximations. We analyze the resulting photon spheres, gravitational lensing, black-hole shadows, and thin accretion-disk images, together with their dependence on the parameter $q$. For sufficiently small positive $q$, the effective angular metric develops a pole that generates stable photon orbits outside the event horizon and locally reverses the azimuthal evolution of photon trajectories, producing a distinctive bending pattern that resembles, although does not originate from, frame dragging. Conversely, negative $q$ introduces a zero of the effective correction factor, which acts as a turning point for photon trajectories and prevents them from entering the region where the background metric becomes complex. It produces measurable changes in light deflection, shadow radius, photon-ring morphology, and relativistic images. In particular, smaller positive values of $q$ produce thinner photon rings and enlarged shadow radii, whereas negative values generally lead to broader photon rings and smaller shadows. Comparison with the current Event Horizon Telescope constraints on Sgr~A* shows that a substantial region of the Kruglov parameter space remains compatible with present observations.

Parity-dependent wave absorption and optical characteristics of a cored magnetic black hole

We study light propagation and coupled gravitational--electromagnetic waves around a black hole supported by a nonlinear magnetic field. The same field action fixes the geometry, the mass--charge relation, and the wave potentials. We calculate two critical impact parameters for light and solve the coupled scattering equations in both parity sectors. In eight solutions of one action, the two optical scales differ by $3.6$--$7.2\%$. The wave absorption also depends on parity. For $\ell=2$, the gap between the larger absorption eigenvalues reaches about $9.0$ percentage points. A wider frequency scan reveals a stronger effect in the second eigenchannel. The difference between the two absorption traces reaches $24.3$ percentage points. The trace equals twice the absorption of an equal incoherent mixture of incoming gravitational and electromagnetic fields. A controlled test of the wave operator shows that the nonlinear electromagnetic factor $κ$ plays an important role in the parity gap. We also examine four $\ell=3$ cases and use charge-matched Reissner--Nordström black holes as a separate control. The optical and wave calculations provide two complementary properties of the same magnetic source.

Perturbative dynamics and relativistic effects of a dyonic Kalb-Ramond black hole

We investigate perturbative dynamics, tidal effects, and relativistic frequency shifts in a dyonic Kalb-Ramond black hole generated by a Lorentz-violating antisymmetric tensor background. The geometry is controlled by the mass $M$, the electric charge $Q$, the magnetic charge $p$, and the Lorentz-violating parameter $\ell$, with the dyonic sector entering through the effective combination $P_{\ell}^{2}=Q^{2}/(1-\ell)^{2}+p^{2}/(1-2\ell)$. First, we analyze the gravitational Doppler effect for radial signal exchange between freely falling and static observers, showing how the dyonic charges weaken the redshift by shifting the frequency ratio toward unity. We then compute the radial and angular tidal forces in a freely falling frame and determine the characteristic radii at which the usual stretching and compression patterns are reversed. The gravitational time delay is also evaluated for null trajectories, showing that the electric and magnetic sectors reduce the delay relative to the reference configuration. In the perturbative sector, we study massless scalar, vector, and spinor test fields together with an effective axial metric model, computing sixth-order WKB spectra and independently checking selected modes using the asymptotic iteration method. At fixed mass and charges, increasing the Lorentz-violating parameter raises the tabulated oscillation frequencies and damping rates in the original time coordinate; their interpretation accounts for time normalization and changes in effective parameters. The independent comparisons support the tested higher-multipole fundamental modes. Time-domain evolutions exhibit damped ringdown followed by power-law tails, whose exponents are estimated through fits incorporating finite time corrections and numerical sensitivity checks.
