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

Published 27 May 2026 in gr-qc and hep-th | (2605.28580v1)

Abstract: 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 derive the scalar, vector, tensor, and spinor effective potentials and compute the corresponding quasinormal frequencies through the sixth-order WKB method. The numerical spectra indicate that the Lorentz-violating parameter gives the dominant correction, increasing the oscillation frequencies and modifying the damping rates, while the dyonic charges produce milder shifts. Finally, the time-domain profiles confirm the presence of damped quasinormal ringing followed by late-time power-law tails.

Perturbative Dynamics and Relativistic Effects of a Dyonic Kalb-Ramond Black Hole

Overview and Theoretical Construction

The paper systematically analyzes the perturbative and relativistic properties of a dyonic Kalb-Ramond black hole, formulated in a Lorentz-violating gravitational theory where the background is sourced by an antisymmetric tensor field. The metric contains four physical parameters: mass (MM), electric charge (QQ), magnetic charge (pp), and a Lorentz-violating parameter (ℓ\ell). The charge sector contributes through an effective combination Pℓ2=Q2/(1−ℓ)2+p2/(1−2ℓ)P_\ell^2 = Q^2/(1-\ell)^2 + p^2/(1-2\ell), encapsulating both electromagnetic charges weighted by Lorentz violation.

The black hole solution reduces to familiar cases under appropriate limits: Reissner-Nordström (ℓ→0\ell\to 0), purely electric or magnetic Kalb-Ramond (p=0p=0 or Q=0Q=0), or the uncharged case (Q=p=0Q=p=0). The study is framed within the context of spontaneous Lorentz symmetry breaking, motivated by both string theory and effective gravitational models.

Doppler Effect in Dyonic Lorentz-Violating Spacetime

The relativistic frequency shifts for signals exchanged between freely falling and static observers are explicitly calculated. For infall from spatial infinity, the exterior observer measures the emitter to reach the speed of light at the horizon, yielding an infinite redshift in outgoing signals. Signals from static observers to infalling observers result in a finite ratio, ωff/ωb→1/2\omega_{\mathrm{ff}}/\omega_b \to 1/2 at the horizon.

The role of dyonic charges is nontrivial: as QQ0 increases, QQ1 augments, shifting the frequency ratio closer to unity and thus lessening the gravitational redshift (Figure 1). Figure 1

Tidal Forces and Structural Reversals

The tidal force analysis reveals characteristic radii where the sign of radial or angular tidal acceleration flips, departing from the standard Schwarzschild pattern. The radial tidal force transitions from stretching to compression at QQ4, while the angular tidal component becomes zero at QQ5. Both radii shift outward as either charge parameter increases, and the Lorentz-violating factor QQ6 further amplifies these effects due to the differential weighting of QQ7 and QQ8 in QQ9. Figure 2

The horizon structure and tidal radii dependencies are mapped against normalized charges in both electric and magnetic sectors, demonstrating the impact of Lorentz violation and charge on the position and hierarchy of characteristic radii (Figure 4). Figure 4

Gravitational Time Delay

Photon time delay in the curved background is computed, subtracting the baseline flat-space result. Both electric and magnetic charge sectors systematically reduce the delay relative to neutral or less charged configurations. Lorentz violation modulates this effect through its weighting of the electromagnetic sector. The charge-induced variation is highlighted by plotting the shifted time delay against pp4 and pp5 (Figure 5). Figure 5

Perturbations, Effective Potentials, and Quasinormal Spectra

Perturbative dynamics for scalar, vector, tensor, and spinor fields are constructed, with explicit radial effective potentials derived for each spin sector. All inspected cases exhibit a single potential barrier, indicating standard black hole ringdown behavior without echoes or cavity resonances. Figure 6

This structural result precludes the presence of echo signals in the time-domain evolution.

Quasinormal modes are extracted via the sixth-order WKB approximation. Strong numerical results include:

  • Lorentz-violating parameter â„“\ell7 gives the dominant correction: increasing â„“\ell8 accelerates oscillatory frequency and steepens damping; the impact is more pronounced than that from varying â„“\ell9 or Pâ„“2=Q2/(1−ℓ)2+p2/(1−2â„“)P_\ell^2 = Q^2/(1-\ell)^2 + p^2/(1-2\ell)0.
  • Charge-induced corrections are moderate: the spectra shift only mildly with increasing Pâ„“2=Q2/(1−ℓ)2+p2/(1−2â„“)P_\ell^2 = Q^2/(1-\ell)^2 + p^2/(1-2\ell)1, Pâ„“2=Q2/(1−ℓ)2+p2/(1−2â„“)P_\ell^2 = Q^2/(1-\ell)^2 + p^2/(1-2\ell)2, or both, except for higher multipoles where the effect becomes notable.
  • The fundamental modes always have the slowest damping and largest real part within each sector; overtones fade rapidly and contribute primarily in the post-merger phase.

Time-Domain Evolution of Perturbative Sectors

Waveforms evolved numerically for all spin sectors show damped quasinormal ringing, followed by power-law tails, consistent with standard expectations. Lorentz violation shortens the signal lifetime by enhancing damping. Figure 15

Implications and Future Directions

The results rigorously quantify how Lorentz violation via a Kalb-Ramond background modifies both static and dynamical properties of charged black holes. Practically, the frequency shift, tidal response, and time delay can constrain Lorentz-violating parameters by cross-comparison with observational data from gravitational waves and black hole imaging (e.g., EHT shadows, LIGO/VIRGO ringdown). The single-barrier structure of the effective potentials suggests that standard ringdown templates remain applicable for these spacetimes, but the enhanced damping and shifted frequencies must be incorporated for accurate model fitting.

Theoretical implications include:

  • Lorentz violation introduces non-universal weights to electromagnetic charges (electric vs. magnetic), affecting horizon, tidal, and wave properties distinctly.
  • All perturbative sectors display robust Lorentz violation sensitivity, with scalar, vector, tensor, and spinor modes manifesting faster oscillations and stronger attenuation as ℓ→0\ell\to 02 increases.

Future research avenues involve gravitational lensing (weak/strong deflection), greybody factors, Hawking particle creation, neutrino propagation, and accretion phenomena, leveraging these results to extend phenomenological bounds on Lorentz-violating parameters.

Conclusion

This paper establishes a thorough framework for analyzing the relativistic, tidal, and perturbative properties of dyonic Kalb-Ramond black holes in Lorentz-violating gravity. The dominant effect of Lorentz violation on spectra and dynamical observables stands out, supplemented by moderate charge-induced shifts. The analysis indicates that observational probes of such compact objects can access Lorentz violation signatures via frequency, damping, tidal force hierarchy, and time delay. Echoes and nonstandard cavity-induced signals are ruled out for the examined parameter regime. Extensions to lensing, particle creation, and accretion processes are anticipated to further increase the scope of these results and their relevance for strong-field gravity tests.
