Schwarzschild-AdS Black Holes with Cloud of Strings and Quintessence: Geodesics, Thermodynamic Topology, and Quasinormal Modes

In this study, we explore a Schwarzschild-anti de-Sitter black hole (BH) coupled with a cloud of strings (CoS) possessing both electric- and magnetic-like components of the string bivector, embedded in a Kiselev-type quintessence fluid (QF). We analyze the dynamics of photons and test particles, focusing on trajectories, photon spheres, BH shadows, and innermost stable circular orbits (ISCO), highlighting how CoS and QF parameters affect these features. We then examine the thermodynamic topology of the system by analyzing vector field zeros, showing that varying CoS leads to distinct topological configurations with total charges of either $0$ or $+1$, corresponding to known classes like RN and AdS-RN. Additionally, we study scalar field dynamics via the massless Klein-Gordon equation, reformulated into a Schr$\ddot{o}$dinger-like form to derive the effective potential. We compute the quasinormal modes (QNMs) of scalar perturbations, showing how CoS and QF influence oscillation frequencies and damping rates, with implications for gravitational confinement and thermalization in the AdS/CFT context.
