In this work, we investigate four-dimensional planar black hole solutions in anti-de Sitter spacetimes in light of the so-called scale-dependent scenario. To obtain this new family of solutions, the classical couplings of the theory, i.e.,…
In vacuum space-times the exterior derivative of a Killing vector field is a 2-form (named here as the Papapetrou field) that satisfies Maxwell's equations without electromagnetic sources. In this paper, using the algebraic structure of the…
