高曲率项会修正作用量，但在与广义相对论（GR）微扰连通的分支上，并不一定会产生新的真空几何。我们针对4维度规理论中静态球对称真空黑洞，建立了一阶框架，其引力拉氏量为$\u27e8_{\u2095ᵣₐᵥ}=R/2+λΨ(R,X,Y)$，其中$X=R_{μν}R^{μν}$，$Y=R_{μνρσ}R^{μνρσ}$。在耦合解析分支上，基于正则性与边界假设，纯Ricci型项$Ψ(R,X)$（在曲率处解析且满足$Ψ(0,0)=0$）不会使Ricci平直背景发生形变；而依赖Riemann的项可以产生形变，因为Kretschmann标量非零。在面半径规范下，我们推导了不依赖具体模型的一阶表达式，涵盖视界偏移、最内稳定圆轨道（ISCO）、本轮频率、近心点进动、光子球、临界阴影碰撞参数、Wald熵以及Hawking温度。对于$Ψ_η=\u2113_λ^{-2+4η}\u2139^η$（将非整数幂次作为非线性曲率的唯象参数化），我们得到了与Schwarzschild解连通的闭合一阶解。当$η>1/2$时微扰会衰减，而固定ADM质量的诠释要求$η>2/3$；在$η=2/3$处，源生的$1/r$项会与渐近质量模式混合。对于正的有效耦合，当$2/3<η<1$时，视界、ISCO、光子球和临界阴影碰撞参数均增大，而当$η>1$时则减小。在固定ADM质量的分支上，固定耦合时质量、Wald熵和Hawking温度在一阶精度下满足$dM=T_H dS_{\rm W}$。当$η=1$时，线性4维Gauss–Bonnet项不改变局域几何与测地线可观测量，但会带来一个常数拓扑熵偏移。最后，受事件视界望远镜（Event Horizon Telescope）启发的阴影尺寸判据，给出了对有效无量纲耦合的保守一阶灵敏度估计，这是一种几何自洽性检验，而非完整的观测约束。
英文摘要
Higher-curvature terms modify the action but do not necessarily generate new vacuum geometries on the branch perturbatively connected to GR. We develop a first-order framework for static, spherical vacuum black holes in 4D metric theories with $\mathcal L_{\mathrm{grav}}=R/2+λΨ(R,X,Y)$, $X=R_{μν}R^{μν}$, and $Y=R_{μνρσ}R^{μνρσ}$. On the coupling-analytic branch, purely Ricci-based terms $Ψ(R,X)$, analytic in curvature with $Ψ(0,0)=0$, do not deform a Ricci-flat background under adopted regularity and boundary assumptions. Riemann-dependent terms can, since Kretschmann scalar is nonzero. In areal-radius gauge, we derive model-independent first-order expressions for the horizon shift, ISCO, epicyclic frequencies, periapsis advance, photon sphere, critical shadow impact parameter, Wald entropy, and Hawking temperature. For $Ψ_η=\ell_λ^{-2+4η}\mathcal G^η$, treating noninteger powers as phenomenological parametrizations of nonlinear curvature, we obtain a closed first-order Schwarzschild-connected solution. Perturbations decay for $η>1/2$, while fixed-ADM interpretation requires $η>2/3$; at $η=2/3$, sourced $1/r$ term mixes with asymptotic mass mode. For positive effective coupling, the horizon, ISCO, photon sphere, and critical shadow impact parameter increase for $2/3<η<1$ and decrease for $η>1$. On the fixed-ADM branch, mass, Wald entropy, and Hawking temperature satisfy $dM=T_H,dS_{\rm W}$ to first order at fixed couplings. At $η=1$, the linear 4D Gauss--Bonnet term leaves local geometry and geodesic observables unchanged but adds a constant topological entropy shift. Finally, an Event Horizon Telescope-inspired shadow-size criterion gives a conservative first-order sensitivity estimate for the effective dimensionless coupling, a geometric consistency test rather than a complete observational constraint.
