Shadow dependent phenomenology framework for rotating black hole metric

Abstract

We establish a thermodynamic-optical duality that directly bridges the semiclassical quantum evaporation of black holes with their classical macroscopic geometry. By employing a diffeomorphic inversion, we re-parameterize the intrinsic black hole mass entirely in terms of the observable shadow radius RshR_{sh}. This mapping allows the formulation of the classical weak deflection angle, Hawking temperature, and integrated semiclassical luminosity, bypassing the unobservable bare mass. Applying this methodology to the standard Kerr, Kerr-MOG, and rotating Horndeski spacetimes, we reveal distinct, model-specific phenomenological signatures. For a statistically fixed shadow radius constrained by Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observations of M87*, the standard Kerr geometry yields a baseline luminosity scaling of LRsh2L \propto R_{sh}^{-2}. In modified gravity regimes, the duality breaks the degeneracy between bare mass and modified field strengths: the MOG repulsive vector field enhances classical deflection while strictly suppressing quantum luminosity, whereas Horndeski scalar hair introduces a unique logarithmic augmentation to astrometric lensing and drives up to a 52%\sim 52\% deviation in Hawking emission under current EHT limits. By strictly anchoring theoretical observables to empirical interferometric boundaries, this framework provides a computationally efficient avenue for testing the Kerr hypothesis and probing fundamental fields in strong-field gravity.
