Tidal dynamics and stellar disruption in charged Kalb-Ramond black holes in nonlinear electrodynamics

preprint2026arXivOpen access

Abstract

We investigate tidal forces, geodesic deviation, and tidal disruption in the black hole spacetime described by the Kalb-Ramond-ModMax solution, where electromagnetic nonlinearity is governed by the parameter γγ and Lorentz symmetry violation by the parameter ll. In the canonical sector (α=1α=1), the radial tidal force exhibits a transition marked by a sign inversion between the horizons r−r_{-} and r+r_+, signaling internal regimes of radial compression analogous to those of charged black holes; the parameter ll controls the strength and location of this transition, while γγ regulates the nonlinear electromagnetic contribution. The angular tidal force is predominantly compressive, ll shaping the effective geometry, and γγ acting as a damping factor. In the phantom sector (α=−1α=-1), tidal forces and geodesic deviation diverge, indicating a tidal instability, with ll and γγ affecting only the magnitude of the response. We further show that ll shifts the relation between the horizon radius r+r_+ and the tidal disruption radius rRocher_{\rm Roche}, thereby modifying the critical (Hills) mass defined by rRoche=r+r_{\rm Roche}=r_+. Tidal disruption of neutron stars occurs inside the horizon for supermassive black holes, whereas Sun-like stars are disrupted outside the horizon, with γγ becoming relevant only for ultramassive black holes with masses ∼108M⊙\sim 10^{8}M_{\odot}. Our results demonstrate that Kalb-Ramon-ModMax effects are largely suppressed for supermassive black holes, but may be relevant for intermediate-mass systems and observable tidal disruption events, offering an indirect probe of Lorentz violation and nonlinear electrodynamics in the strong-field regime.
