Abstract

We investigate the kinematic topologies of light rings (LRs) and massive particle rings (PRs) encircling spherical and axisymmetric black holes. Our results demonstrate that the global topology number of LRs is consistently $\ensuremath{-}1$ for asymptotically flat and (anti--)de Sitter spacetime. Additionally, we show that the global topology of PRs varies, with a value of 0 in asymptotically flat and anti--de Sitter spacetime but $\ensuremath{-}1$ in asymptotic de Sitter spacetime.
