We recently hypothesized that a distortion parameter exists such that its signed sum for all images of singular gravitational lensing of a source vanishes identically [K. S. Virbhadra, Phys. Rev. D {\bf 106}, 064038 (2022)]. We found a distortion parameter (the ratio of the tangential to radial magnifications) that satisfied the hypothesis for the images of Schwarzschild lensing with flying colors. We now show that another distortion parameter (the difference of tangential and radial magnifications) also magnificently supports our hypothesis when we perform computations with the primary-secondary and relativistic images. The distortion parameters, which satisfy the aesthetically appealing hypothesis, will likely aid in developing gravitational lensing theory. Finally, we discuss the conservation of distortion of images in gravitational lensing.

  1. Semi-Analytic Trajectory Analysis of Light in Generic Static Spacetimes

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The authors present a generic weak-field lensing framework built from three known semi-analytic methods and apply it to a scalar hairy Reissner-Nordstrom black hole, recovering the standard deflection with q^2 = Q^2+Q_s^2.

  2. Phenomenology of Schwarzschild-like Black Holes with a Generalized Compton Wavelength

    gr-qc 2025-04 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    A generalized Compton wavelength deformation of Schwarzschild spacetime yields EHT and solar system bounds on the deformation parameter epsilon, currently consistent with general relativity.

  3. Signatures of a de Sitter-core black hole in ringing, transmission and optical appearance

    gr-qc 2024-12 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    A regular black hole with a de Sitter core would oscillate at slightly different frequencies, transmit less Hawking radiation, evaporate more slowly, and cast a slightly smaller, dimmer shadow than a Schwarzschild bla...

  4. Shadows and accretion disk images of charged rotating black hole in modified gravity theory

    gr-qc 2024-11 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Ray-traced images of the Kerr-Newman-MOG black hole show that the MOG parameter α enlarges and rounds the shadow, and its effect beats that of the electric charge Q.
