A perturbative method to compute the total travel time of both null and lightlike rays in arbitrary static spherically symmetric spacetimes in the weak field limit is proposed. The resultant total time takes a quasi-series form of the impact parameter. The coefficient of this series at a certain order $n$ is shown to be determined by the asymptotic expansion of the metric functions to the order $n+1$. To the leading order(s), the time delay, as well as the difference between the time delays of two kinds of relativistic signals, is then shown to take a universal form for all SSS spacetimes. This universal form depends on the mass $M$ and a post-Newtonian parameter $gamma$ of the spacetime. The analytical result is numerically verified using the central black hole of M87 as the gravitational lensing center.

Gravitational lensing can happen not only for null signal but also timelike signals such as neutrinos and massive gravitational waves in some theories beyond GR. In this work we study the time delay between different relativistic images formed by sig nals with arbitrary asymptotic velocity $v$ in general static and spherically symmetric spacetimes. A perturbative method is used to calculate the total travel time in the strong field limit, which is found to be in quasi-series of the small parameter $a=1-b_c/b$ where $b$ is the impact parameter and $b_c$ is its critical value. The coefficients of the series are completely fixed by the behaviour of the metric functions near the particle sphere $r_c$ and only the first term of the series contains a weak logarithmic divergence. The time delay $Delta t_{n,m}$ to the leading non-trivial order was shown to equal the particle sphere circumference divided by the local signal velocity and multiplied by the winding number and the redshift factor. By assuming the Sgr A* supermassive black hole is a Hayward one, we were able to validate the quasi-series form of the total time, and reveal the effects of the spacetime parameter $l$, the signal velocity $v$ and the source/detector coordinate difference $Deltaphi_{sd}$ on the time delay. It is found that as $l$ increase from 0 to its critical value $l_c$, both $r_c$ and $Delta t_{n,m}$ decrease. The variation of $Delta t_{n+1,n}$ for $l$ from 0 to $l_c$ can be as large as $7.2times 10^1$ [s], whose measurement then can be used to constrain the value of $l$. While for ultra-relativistic neutrino or gravitational wave, the variation of $Delta t_{n,m}$ is too small to be resolved. The dependence of $Delta t_{n,-n}$ on $Delta phi_{sd}$ shows that to temporally resolve the two sequences of images from opposite sides of the lens, $|Delta phi_{sd}-pi|$ has to be larger than certain value.
We examine potential deformations of inner black hole and cosmological horizons in Reissner-Nordstrom de-Sitter spacetimes. While the rigidity of the outer black hole horizon is guaranteed by theorem, that theorem applies to neither the inner black h ole nor past cosmological horizon. Further for pure deSitter spacetime it is clear that the cosmological horizon can be deformed (by translation). For specific parameter choices, it is shown that both inner black hole and cosmological horizons can be infinitesimally deformed. However these do not extend to finite deformations. The corresponding results for general spherically symmetric spacetimes are considered.
The existence and stability of circular orbits (CO) in static and spherically symmetric (SSS) spacetime are important because of their practical and potential usefulness. In this paper, using the fixed point method, we first prove a necessary and suf ficient condition on the metric function for the existence of timelike COs in SSS spacetimes. After analyzing the asymptotic behavior of the metric, we then show that asymptotic flat SSS spacetime that corresponds to a negative Newtonian potential at large $r$ will always allow the existence of CO. The stability of the CO in a general SSS spacetime is then studied using the Lyapunov exponent method. Two sufficient conditions on the (in)stability of the COs are obtained. For null geodesics, a sufficient condition on the metric function for the (in)stability of null CO is also obtained. We then illustrate one powerful application of these results by showing that an SU(2) Yang-Mills-Einstein SSS spacetime whose metric function is not known, will allow the existence of timelike COs. We also used our results to assert the existence and (in)stabilities of a number of known SSS metrics.
The deflection and gravitational lensing of light and massive particles in arbitrary static, spherically symmetric and asymptotically (anti-)de Sitter spacetimes are considered in this work. We first proved that for spacetimes whose metric satisfying certain conditions, the deflection of null rays with fixed closest distance will not depend on the cosmological constant $Lambda$, while that of timelike signals and the apparent angle in gravitational lensing still depend on $Lambda$. A two-step perturbative method is then developed to compute the change of the angular coordinate and total travel time in the weak field limit. The results are quasi-series of two small quantities, with the finite distance effect of the source/detector naturally taken into account. These results are verified by applying to some known de Sitter spacetimes. Using an exact gravitational lensing equation, we solved the apparent angles of the images and time delays between them and studied the effect of $Lambda$ on them. It is found that generally, a small positive $Lambda$ will decrease the apparent angle of images from both sides of the lens and increase the time delay between them. The time delay between signals from the same side of the lens but with different energy however, will be decreased by $Lambda$.

It is shown that the free motion of massive particles moving in static spacetimes are given by the geodesics of an energy-dependent Riemannian metric on the spatial sections analogous to Jacobis metric in classical dynamics. In the massless limit Jac obis metric coincides with the energy independent Fermat or optical metric. For stationary metrics, it is known that the motion of massless particles is given by the geodesics of an energy independent Finslerian metric of Randers type. The motion of massive particles is governed by neither a Riemannian nor a Finslerian metric. The properies of the Jacobi metric for massive particles moving outside the horizon of a Schwarschild black hole are described. By constrast with the massless case, the Gaussian curvature of the equatorial sections is not always negative.
