The pith

f(Q,B) gravity black holes deflect light less than Schwarzschild black holes, with shadow data restricting q0 to roughly -3 to -2.

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The paper applies Bozza's strong-field lensing method to black hole solutions in f(Q,B) gravity, an extension of f(Q) gravity that includes a boundary term. Calculations show that the deflection angle is smaller than for the Schwarzschild metric across the considered ranges of the model parameters s0 and q0. The analysis also computes the outermost relativistic Einstein ring and related observables such as angular position, separation, and relative magnification. The shadow radius is derived and compared to Event Horizon Telescope measurements of Sgr A*, yielding the constraint that q0 lies between approximately -3 and -2 for all viable s0 values.

Core claim

For the static spherically symmetric black hole spacetime in f(Q,B) gravity, the strong deflection angle is smaller than the Schwarzschild value in all examined cases, and the shadow size from Sgr A* data requires the model parameter q0 to satisfy -3 ≲ q0 ≲ -2 for any allowed s0.

What carries the argument

Bozza's strong field lensing formalism applied to the f(Q,B) metric, combined with the calculation of the black hole shadow radius.

If this is right

  • The angular position and separation of relativistic images change with the model parameters in the same direction as the deflection angle.
  • Relative magnification behaves differently from the other observables under variation of s0 and q0.
  • The allowed region of parameter space is reduced to a narrow strip around q0 = -2.5.
  • Strong-field observables can be used to test f(Q,B) gravity against general relativity near compact objects.

Where Pith is reading between the lines

These are editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • More precise future shadow measurements could shrink the allowed q0 interval further or exclude the model entirely.
  • The same lensing and shadow techniques could be applied to other modified-gravity black hole solutions to produce comparable bounds.
  • If the constraint holds, it would indicate that any viable f(Q,B) black hole must lie close to the Schwarzschild limit in its strong-field behavior.

Load-bearing premise

The black hole spacetime is static and spherically symmetric, so standard lensing formulas and shadow radius expressions apply directly without rotation or extra astrophysical corrections.

What would settle it

A measured shadow angular size for Sgr A* lying outside the interval predicted by the allowed (s0, q0) pairs would rule out the derived constraint.

We investigate the strong field lensing of light by black holes (BHs)emerging in $f(Q, \mathcal{B})$ theory of gravity, which is an extension of $f(Q)$ gravity theory by including a boundary term $\mathcal{B}$. Our analysis starts with the study of horizon structure for the BH spacetime in $f(Q,\mathcal{B})$ gravity. The strong field lensing analysis is done by employing the method developed by V.~Booza. We calculate the deflection angle for the static and spherically symmetric $f(Q,\mathcal{B})$ gravity BH spacetime and compare the results with the Schwarzschild BH. It is found that for all considerable scenarios of model parameters the $f(Q,\mathcal{B})$ gravity BH produces less deflection of light than the Schwarzschild BH. We extend our study to examine the outermost relativistic Einstein rings and three other observables, viz., angular position $\vartheta_{\infty}$, angular separation $s$ and relative magnification $r_\text{mag}$. We see that except $r_\text{mag}$, other observables show the same kind of behavioural change with respect to model parameters. We also study the shadow of the considered BH. Moreover, using the shadow data of BH Sgr A* from EHT collaborations, we constrain the model parameters of the $f(Q,\mathcal{B})$ theory for the BH spacetime. The constraining analysis reveals that for all considerable values of the model parameter $s_0$, the allowed range of the other model parameter $q_0$ is $-3\lesssim q_0 \lesssim -2$.

Referee Report

2 major / 2 minor

Summary. The paper studies black hole spacetimes in f(Q, B) gravity, an extension of f(Q) theory. It analyzes horizon structure, applies Bozza's strong-field lensing formalism to compute deflection angles and observables (θ∞, s, r_mag, relativistic Einstein rings), compares results to Schwarzschild, examines shadows, and constrains the model parameters q0 and s0 by matching the theoretical shadow radius to the EHT central value for Sgr A*, obtaining the range −3 ≲ q0 ≲ −2 for all considerable s0.

Significance. If the parameter constraint is robust, the work supplies an observational bound on this modified-gravity model that could be tested against future EHT or VLTI data. The manuscript performs a systematic comparison of lensing observables and shadow size across the two-parameter family, which is a standard and useful exercise in the field.

major comments (2)
  1. [constraining analysis] Constraining analysis (final section): the quoted interval −3 ≲ q0 ≲ −2 is obtained by equating the photon-sphere shadow radius r_sh(q0,s0) directly to the reported EHT central value (~5.2M) as a point estimate. No propagation of the ~10 % mass and ~5 % distance uncertainties on Sgr A* is described, nor are possible systematics from plasma or inclination; because the interval is narrow, modest error propagation could erase or shift the allowed region.
  2. [shadow and lensing sections] Shadow and lensing sections: the analysis assumes the spacetime remains exactly static and spherically symmetric, permitting direct application of Bozza’s strong-deflection formulae without additional terms. The manuscript does not quantify how deviations from this symmetry (e.g., slow rotation or external fields) would alter the derived bounds on q0.
minor comments (2)
  1. Notation: the symbols q0 and s0 are introduced without an explicit statement of their relation to the f(Q,B) action or the metric ansatz; a short paragraph clarifying the parametrization would improve readability.
  2. Figure captions: several plots of deflection angle and observables lack error bands or reference curves for the Schwarzschild limit, making quantitative comparison harder.

  1. Referee: [constraining analysis] Constraining analysis (final section): the quoted interval −3 ≲ q0 ≲ −2 is obtained by equating the photon-sphere shadow radius r_sh(q0,s0) directly to the reported EHT central value (~5.2M) as a point estimate. No propagation of the ~10 % mass and ~5 % distance uncertainties on Sgr A* is described, nor are possible systematics from plasma or inclination; because the interval is narrow, modest error propagation could erase or shift the allowed region.

    Authors: We agree that the analysis uses the EHT central value as a point estimate without propagating the stated uncertainties in mass and distance, nor addressing plasma or inclination effects. This is a valid limitation of the current constraining section. In the revised version we will add explicit propagation of the ~10% mass and ~5% distance uncertainties to the shadow radius and show the resulting range for q0; we will also include a brief discussion of plasma and inclination as potential systematics that could affect the bounds. revision: yes

  2. Referee: [shadow and lensing sections] Shadow and lensing sections: the analysis assumes the spacetime remains exactly static and spherically symmetric, permitting direct application of Bozza’s strong-deflection formulae without additional terms. The manuscript does not quantify how deviations from this symmetry (e.g., slow rotation or external fields) would alter the derived bounds on q0.

    Authors: The f(Q,B) black-hole solution examined in the paper is derived under the static, spherically symmetric ansatz that solves the field equations of the theory. Bozza’s formalism is therefore applied exactly within this symmetry class. Extending the analysis to slow rotation or external fields would require new metric solutions (e.g., axisymmetric generalizations), which is outside the scope of the present work. We will add a clarifying remark in the conclusions noting this assumption and identifying rotating solutions as a topic for future investigation. revision: partial

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged

No significant circularity; constraints are data-driven from external EHT observations.

full rationale

The paper derives the f(Q,B) metric, applies Bozza's strong-field lensing formalism to compute deflection angles and observables, obtains the shadow radius from the photon-sphere condition, and then explicitly uses external EHT shadow data for Sgr A* to place bounds on q0 and s0. This is a standard observational constraint procedure, not a derivation or prediction that reduces to its own inputs by construction. No self-definitional steps, no fitted parameter renamed as prediction, and no load-bearing self-citation chain. The analysis is self-contained against external benchmarks (EHT data), so the central claim does not exhibit circularity per the enumerated patterns.

Axiom & Free-Parameter Ledger

2 free parameters · 2 axioms · 0 invented entities

The model parameters q0 and s0 are introduced ad hoc in the f(Q,B) theory and constrained via data fit; the analysis rests on standard assumptions about the metric form and lensing applicability without independent first-principles derivation of the parameters.
