Particles motion on topological Lifshitz black holes in 3+1 dimensions

Abstract

In the present paper we study the causal structure of a topological black hole presented by Mann R. B. JHEP 06, 075 (2009) by mean the standard Lagrangian procedure, which allow us analyze qualitatively the behavior of test particles using the effective potential. Then, the geodesic motion of massive and massless particles is obtained analytically. We find that confined orbits are forbidden on this spacetime, however radial photons can escape to infinity in an infinite proper time but in a finite coordinate time, this correspond to an interesting and novel result.
