We present a new class of magnetic brane solutions in $(n+1)$-dimensional Brans-Dicke-Maxwell theory in the presence of a quadratic potential for the scalar field. These solutions are neither asymptotically flat nor (anti)-de Sitter. Our…
Two-point functions for scalar and spinor fields are investigated in Einstein universe ($R \otimes S^{\sN-1}$). Equations for massive scalar and spinor two-point functions are solved and the explicit expressions for the two-point functions…
