The spherically symmetric static solutions are searched for in some f(T) models of gravity theory with a Maxwell term. To do this, we demonstrate that reconstructing the Lagrangian of f(T) theories is sensitive to the choice of frame, and…

We investigate the spacetime of a thick gravitating domain wall for a general potential $V(\Phi)$. Using general analytical arguments we show that all nontrivial solutions fall into two categories: those interpretable as an isolated domain…

Existence of spherically symmetric solutions to the Einstein-Vlasov system is well-known. However, it is an open problem whether or not static solutions arise as minimizers of a variational problem. Apart from being of interest in its own…
Recent works by the second author and Maxwell et al. have shown that the Einstein-scalar field conformal constraint equations are highly complex and generally intractable, even in the vacuum case. In this article, to gain a clearer…
We propose a new model of modified $F(R)$ gravity theory with the function $F(R) = (1/\beta) \arcsin(\beta R)$. Constant curvature solutions corresponding to the flat and de Sitter spacetime are obtained. The Jordan and Einstein frames are…
