Abstract

A nonstatic and circularly symmetric exact solution of the Einstein equations (with a cosmological constant Λ\Lambda and null fluid) in 2+12+1 dimensions is given. This is a nonstatic generalization of the uncharged spinless BTZ metric. For Λ=0\Lambda = 0 , the spacetime is though not flat, the Kretschmann invariant vanishes. The energy, momentum, and power output for this metric are obtained. Further a static and circularly symmetric exact solution of the Einstein-massless scalar equations is given, which has a curvature singularity at r=0r =0 and the scalar field diverges at r=0r=0 as well as at infinity .
