We present a novel example of a 2-dimensional space-time naked singularity. The solution has a gravity singularity and no-horizon. This example is only a toy model and as such its motivation is mathematical. In the physical sense it is very…

It is known that two Reissner-Nordstrom black holes or two overextreme Reissner-Nordstrom sources cannot be in physical equilibrium. In the static case such equilibrium is possible only if one of the sources is a black hole and another one…
