Thermal, topological, and scattering effects of an AdS charged black hole with an antisymmetric tensor background

Abstract: In this study, we explore a spherically symmetric charged black hole with a cosmological constant under the influence of a Kalb--Ramond field background. We compute the photon sphere and shadow radii, validating our findings using observational data from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), with a particular emphasis on the shadow images of Sagittarius $A^{*}$. Furthermore, we investigate the \textit{greybody} factors, emission rate, and partial absorption cross section. It is shown that the Lorentz-violating parameter (\bar{l}) has an important effect on the absorption cross section. Our analysis also includes an examination of the topological charge, temperature-dependent topology, and generalized free energy. In particular, we regard the AdS charged black hole with an antisymmetric tensor background as a topological defect in the thermodynamic space, then the system has the same topological classification to the charged RN-AdS black hole.
