摘要：
黑洞阴影在主导的几何光学近似中是纯粹几何的：其边界由null测地线设定，不携带探测辐射偏振信息。在次主导阶，光的引力自旋霍尔效应引入了偏振依赖的修正。我们证明，在任何静态球对称时空，自旋霍尔方程的精确赤道反射对称性迫使这些修正在捕获阈值处抵消：临界影响参数对相反偏振保持相同，且无偏振依赖的阴影分裂。旋转破坏这一对称性。通过双扰动展开，我们推导了缓慢旋转（克尔）黑洞临界影响参数的首个非零偏振依赖位移。该效应与自旋参数χ线性相关，尺度为1/ω，并表现为阴影边界的cosϕ调制，对于自旋参数χ≥0.21出现符号反转。尽管对天体物理源参数学上较小，该分裂是强场中自旋光学动力学的稳健、模型无关的特征。我们的分析还识别出一种方法学陷阱：一种粗略的径向投影可能抑制横向运动，即使在球对称情况下也会产生虚假分裂，这为未来研究自旋光学效应提供了普遍教训。
英文摘要：
Black-hole shadows are purely geometric in the leading-order geometric-optics approximation: their boundary is set by null geodesics and carries no information about the polarization of the probing radiation. At subleading order, the gravitational spin Hall effect of light introduces helicity-dependent corrections to photon propagation. We show that, in any static spherically symmetric spacetime, an exact equatorial reflection symmetry of the full spin Hall equations forces these corrections to cancel at the capture threshold: the critical impact parameter remains identical for opposite helicities, and no polarization-dependent shadow splitting occurs. Rotation breaks this symmetry. Using a double perturbative expansion in the black-hole spin $χ= a/M$ and in the inverse frequency $1/ω$, we derive the first non-vanishing helicity-dependent shift of the critical impact parameter for slowly rotating (Kerr) black holes. The effect is linear in $χ$, scales as $1/ω$, and appears as a $\cosϕ$ modulation of the shadow boundary, with a sign reversal on one side of the image for spins $χ\gtrsim 0.21$. Although parametrically small for astrophysical sources, the splitting is a robust, model-independent signature of spin-optical dynamics in strong fields. Our analysis also identifies a methodological pitfall: a naive radial projection that suppresses transverse motion can produce a spurious splitting even in spherical symmetry, a lesson of general relevance for future studies of spin-optical effects.
