We present a generalization of the $U(1)^{2}$ charged dilaton black holes family whose main feature is that both $U(1)$ fields have electric and magnetic charges, the axion field still being trivial. We show the supersymmetry of these…
We present a new class of black hole solutions in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton gravity in $n \ge 4$ dimensions. These solutions have regular horizons and a singularity only at the origin. Their asymptotic behavior is neither asymptotically flat…
We present two rotating black hole solutions with axion $\xi$, dilaton $\phi$ and two U(1) vector fields. By applying the "Newman-Janis trick" to a metric with 3 arbitrary parameters we find a rotating metric $g_{\mu\nu}$ with 4 such…

Four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton theory admits asymptotically flat extremal dyonic solutions for an infinite discrete sequence of the coupling constant values. The quantization condition arises as consequence of regularity of the…
A gauge theory of gravity is defined in 6 dimensional non-commutative space-time. The gauge group is the unitary group U(2,2), which contains the homogeneous Lorentz group, SO(4,2), in 6 dimensions as a subgroup. It is shown that, after the…
