Static spherically symmetric uncoupled scalar space-times have no event horizon and a divergent Kretschmann singularity at the origin of the coordinates. The singularity is always present so that non-static solutions have been sought to see…
In many nonlinear field theories, relevant solutions may be found by reducing the order of the original Euler-Lagrange equations, e.g., to first order equations (Bogomolnyi equations, self-duality equations, etc.). Here we generalise,…
