Abstract: Motivated by high interest in Lorentz invariant massive gravity models known as dRGT massive gravity, we present an exact phantom black hole solution in this theory of gravity and discuss the thermodynamic structure of the black hole in the canonical ensemble. Calculating the conserved and thermodynamic quantities, we check the validity of the first law of thermodynamics and the Smarr relation in the extended phase space. In addition, we investigate both the local and global stability of these black holes and show how massive parameters affect the regions of stability. We extend our study to investigate the optical features of the black holes such as the shadow geometrical shape, energy emission rate, and deflection angle. Also, we discuss how these optical quantities are affected by massive coefficients. Finally, we consider a massive scalar perturbation minimally coupled to the background geometry of the black hole and examine the quasinormal modes (QNMs) by employing the WKB approximation.

Phantom Black Holes and the Thermodynamic Structure

In this article, we delve into the fascinating world of Lorentz invariant massive gravity models and specifically focus on the dRGT massive gravity theory. We start by presenting an exact solution for a phantom black hole within this theory and explore its thermodynamic structure in the canonical ensemble.

We aim to validate the first law of thermodynamics and the Smarr relation in the extended phase space by calculating the conserved and thermodynamic quantities associated with the black hole. This investigation will provide insights into the physical behavior and characteristics of these unique objects.

Stability Analysis and Dependence on Massive Parameters

To further our understanding, we also analyze the stability of these phantom black holes. Both local and global stability are examined, and we investigate how the massive parameters impact the regions of stability. This exploration will shed light on the conditions required for a stable black hole solution within the dRGT massive gravity framework.

Optical Features and Impact of Massive Coefficients

Expanding our study, we delve into the optical features of these black holes. We examine properties such as the shadow geometrical shape, energy emission rate, and deflection angle. By exploring how these optical quantities are influenced by the massive coefficients, we gain insights into the observable characteristics of these exotic objects.

Perturbations and Quasinormal Modes

Finally, we consider the effects of a massive scalar perturbation on the background geometry of the phantom black hole. By employing the WKB approximation, we examine the quasinormal modes (QNMs) associated with these perturbations. This analysis provides information about the vibrational behavior of these black holes and their response to external disturbances.

Future Roadmap: Challenges and Opportunities

Looking ahead, there are several challenges and opportunities on the horizon in this field of study. Some potential areas for exploration include:

  • Further investigation into the thermodynamic properties of phantom black holes within different gravity theories.
  • Extending the stability analysis to more complex black hole solutions and exploring the impact of additional parameters.
  • Refining and expanding our understanding of the optical features of these black holes, including their detectability and potential implications for observational astronomy.
  • Exploring the behavior of other types of perturbations, such as gravitational waves, and their interaction with the phantom black hole background.

By tackling these challenges and seizing these opportunities, we can continue to deepen our understanding of Lorentz invariant massive gravity models and their intriguing phantom black hole solutions. This research has the potential to advance our knowledge of fundamental physics and contribute to the broader field of theoretical astrophysics.
