Abstract

In this report, the regularity conditions at the center for static spherically symmetric (SSS) solutions of the Einstein equations coupled to nonlinear electrodynamics (NLE) with Lagrangian L=L(F)\mathcal{L}= \mathcal{L}(\mathcal{F}), depending on the electromagnetic invariant F=FμνFμν/4\mathcal{F}=F_{\mu\nu}\,F^{\mu\nu}/4, are established. The traceless Ricci (TR) tensor eigenvalue SS, the Weyl tensor eigenvalue Ψ2\Psi_2 and the scalar curvature RR characterize the independent Riemman tensor invariants of SSS metrics. The necessary and sufficient regularity conditions for electric NLE SSS solutions require limr0{Ψ2,S,R}{0,0,(0,4Λ+4L(0))}\lim_{r\rightarrow 0}\{\Psi_2,S,R\}\rightarrow \{0,0,(0,4\Lambda+ 4\mathcal{L}(0))\}, such that the metric function Q(r)Q(r) and the electric field q0Frt=:Eq_0F_{rt}=:\mathcal{E} behave as {Q,Q˙,Q¨}{0,0,2}\{Q,\dot Q,\ddot Q\}\rightarrow\{0,0,2\} and \{\mathcal{E},\dot\mathcal{E},\ddot\mathcal{E}\}\rightarrow\{0,0,0\}, as r0r\rightarrow 0. The general linear integral representation of the electric NLE SSS metric in terms of an arbitrary electric field E\mathcal{E}, together with {Ψ2,S,R}\{\Psi_2,S,R\}, is explicitly given. Moreover, beside the regular or singular behavior at the center, these solutions may exhibit different asymptotic behavior at spatial infinity such as the Reissner--Nordtr\"om (Maxwell) asymptotic, or present the dS--AdS or other kind of asymptotic.
