Actually i want know about the lensing of light from accretion disc around a black hole(kerr and schwarschild). Is the lensing is strong for radie near minimum inner radius of accretion disc.
I want know how the accretion disc will look like for a distant observer.

Can somebody give me some papers or articles for the question especilly for the final part.
I am doing a project on it. actually i need more mathematical stuff

I suggest that you google it.

I'd avoid Google, since you are after the details, unless maybe you use Google scholar. The best approach would be to use http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html" astrophysics journal article search engine. Almost all the hits you get will have a link to the free ArXiv version of the papers, so you don't have to have journal subscriptions to view them.

I put in 'kerr lensing disk' and got a bunch of papers that looked they might be relevant for you.

Hope that helps!
