Abstract

In the present work, we theoretically investigate gravitational lensing in the spacetime of a holonomy corrected Schwarzschild black hole. Analytical expressions for the light deflection angle are obtained in both the weak field limit and the strong field limit. Furthermore, we analyze observables, such as relativistic images and magnifications, and compare the results with those expected in a Schwarzschild spacetime. We discuss the possibilities and difficulties of investigating such a solution in practice.
