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.

We consider the thermodynamic properties of an exact black hole solution
obtained in Weyl geometric gravity theory, by considering the simplest
conformally invariant action, constructed from the square of the Weyl scalar,
and the strength of the Weyl vector only. The action is linearized in the Weyl
scalar by introducing an auxiliary scalar field, and thus it can be
reformulated as a scalar-vector-tensor theory in a Riemann space, in the
presence of a nonminimal coupling between the Ricci scalar and the scalar
field. In static spherical symmetry, this theory admits an exact black hole
solution, which generalizes the standard Schwarzschild-de Sitter solution
through the presence of two new terms in the metric, having a linear and a
quadratic dependence on the radial coordinate, respectively. The solution is
obtained by assuming that the Weyl vector has only a radial component. After
studying the locations of the event and cosmological horizons of the Weyl
geometric black hole, we investigate in detail the thermodynamical (quantum
properties) of this type of black holes, by considering the Hawking
temperature, the volume, the entropy, specific heat and the Helmholtz and Gibbs
energy functions on both the event and the cosmological horizons. The Weyl
geometric black holes have thermodynamic properties that clearly differentiate
them from similar solutions of other modified gravity theories. The obtained
results may lead to the possibility of a better understanding of the properties
of the black holes in alternative gravity, and of the relevance of the
thermodynamic aspects in black hole physics.
According to the article, the authors have examined the thermodynamic properties of an exact black hole solution in Weyl geometric gravity theory. They have used the simplest conformally invariant action, constructed from the square of the Weyl scalar and the strength of the Weyl vector. By linearizing the action in the Weyl scalar and introducing an auxiliary scalar field, the theory can be reformulated as a scalar-vector-tensor theory in a Riemann space with a nonminimal coupling between the Ricci scalar and the scalar field.
In static spherical symmetry, this theory gives rise to an exact black hole solution that generalizes the standard Schwarzschild-de Sitter solution. The metric of the black hole solution includes two new terms that have linear and quadratic dependencies on the radial coordinate.
The authors then investigate the thermodynamic properties of this type of black hole. They analyze the locations of the event and cosmological horizons of the Weyl geometric black hole and study the quantum properties by considering the Hawking temperature, volume, entropy, specific heat, and Helmholtz and Gibbs energy functions on both horizons.
They find that Weyl geometric black holes have distinct thermodynamic properties that differentiate them from similar solutions in other modified gravity theories. These results may contribute to a better understanding of black holes in alternative gravity theories and the importance of thermodynamic aspects in black hole physics.

We investigate quasitopological black holes in $(2+1)$ dimensions in the
context of electromagnetic-generalized-quasitopological-gravities (EM-GQT). For
three different families of geometries of quasitopological nature, we study the
causal structure and their response to a probe scalar field. To linear order,
we verify that the scalar field evolves stably, decaying in different towers of
quasinormal modes. The studied black holes are either charged geometries
(regular and singular) or a regular Ba~nados-Teitelboim-Zanelli (BTZ)-like
black hole, both coming from the EM-GQT theory characterized by nonminimal
coupling parameters between gravity and a background scalar field. We calculate
the quasinormal modes applying different numerical methods with convergent
results between them. The oscillations demonstrate a very peculiar structure
for charged black holes: in the intermediate and near extremal cases, a
particular scaling arises, similar to that of the rotating BTZ geometry, with
the modes being proportional to the distance between horizons. For the single
horizon black hole solution, we identify the presence of different quasinormal
families by analyzing the features of that spectrum. In all three considered
geometries, no instabilities were found.
Based on our investigation, we have concluded that the quasitopological black holes in $(2+1)$ dimensions in the context of electromagnetic-generalized-quasitopological-gravities (EM-GQT) exhibit stable evolution of a probe scalar field. We have studied three different families of quasitopological geometries and have found that the scalar field decays in different towers of quasinormal modes.
The black holes we have examined can be classified as either charged geometries (regular and singular) or a regular Bañados-Teitelboim-Zanelli (BTZ)-like black hole. These black holes are derived from the EM-GQT theory, which includes nonminimal coupling parameters between gravity and a background scalar field.
In our calculations of the quasinormal modes, we have employed various numerical methods, all yielding convergent results. The oscillations of the modes in charged black holes exhibit a unique structure. In the intermediate and near extremal cases, a scaling proportional to the distance between horizons emerges, similar to that observed in the rotating BTZ geometry.
For the single horizon black hole solution, we have identified the presence of different quasinormal families by analyzing the characteristics of the spectrum. Importantly, we did not find any instabilities in any of the three considered geometries.

- Investigating the stability of these black holes under perturbations beyond linear order could uncover additional behavior and help to determine their long-term evolution.
Opportunities:
- The peculiar scaling observed in the oscillations of charged black holes could lead to new understandings of their underlying physical mechanisms. Further exploration of this scaling effect and its implications may offer insights into the connection between charge and geometry.
- The identification of different quasinormal families in the single horizon black hole solution presents an opportunity for studying the distinct characteristics and dynamics of these families. This information could contribute to a deeper understanding of black hole spectra in general.
- Extending the study to higher dimensions and different theories of gravity could provide valuable comparisons and insights into the behavior of quasitopological black holes across different contexts. Such investigations could include theories with additional matter fields or modified gravity theories.
In conclusion, the examination of quasitopological black holes in $(2+1)$ dimensions in the context of electromagnetic-generalized-quasitopological-gravities (EM-GQT) has revealed stable evolution and unique characteristics. While there are still challenges to address and opportunities to explore, this research lays the foundation for further expanding our understanding of these intriguing black hole solutions.

This study deals with astrophysical accretion onto the charged black hole
solution, which is sourced by the dilation, spin, and shear charge of matter in
metric affine gravity. The metric affine gravity defines the link between
torsion and nonmetricity in space-time geometry. In the current analysis, we
study the accretion process of various perfect fluids that are accreting near

considered to discuss the accretion. In the framework of equations of state, we
consider isothermal fluids for this investigation. Further, we explore the
effect of polytropic test fluid in relation to accretion discs, and it is
presented in phase diagrams. Some important aspects of the accretion process
are investigated. Analyzing the accretion rate close to a charged black hole
solution, typical behavior is created and discussed graphically.

Recently, a static spherically symmetric black hole solution was found in
gravity nonminimally coupled a background Kalb-Ramond field. The Lorentz
symmetry is spontaneously broken when the Kalb-Ramond field has a nonvanishing
vacuum expectation value. In this work, we focus on the quasinormal modes and
greybody factor of this black hole. The master equations for the perturbed
scalar field, electromagnetic field, and gravitational field can be written
into a uniform form. We use three methods to solve the quasinormal frequencies
in the frequency domain. The results agree well with each other. The time
evolution of a Gaussian wave packet is studied. The quasinormal frequencies
fitted from the time evolution data agree well with that of frequency domain.
The greybody factor is calculated by Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) method.
The effect of the Lorentz-violating parameter on the quasinormal modes and
greybody factor are also studied.
