Distinct topological configurations of equatorial timelike circular orbit for spherically symmetric (hairy) black holes



Abstract: Topological approach has been shown a promising study toward to the light ring in a generic black hole background. We in this paper generalize it to the study of timelike circular orbits in static, spherically symmetric, and asymptotic flat black holes. By making use of the equation of motion of the massive particles, we construct a vector with its zero points exactly relating with the timelike circular orbits. Since each zero point of the vector can be endowed with a winding number, the topology of the timelike circular orbits is established. Stable and unstable timelike circular orbits respectively have winding number +1 and -1. In particular, different from that of the light ring, the timelike circular orbits possess vanishing topological number and appear in pairs for given angular momentum. Moreover, we apply the study to the Schwarzschild, scalarized Einstein-Maxwell, and dyonic black holes, which have distinct topological configurations. It is shown that although the existence of scalar hair and quasi-topological term leads to richer topological configurations of the timelike circular orbits, whereas they have no influence on the topological number. These results indicate that the topological approach indeed provides us a novel way to understand the timelike circular orbits. More information is expected to be disclosed when other different topological configurations are present.
