(2+1)-dimensional black hole with Coulomb-like field

A (2 + 1)-static black hole solution with a nonlinear electric field is der ived. The source to the Einstein equations is a nonlinear electrodynamics, satisfying the weak energy conditions, and it is such that the energy momen tum tensor is traceless. The obtained solution is singular at the origin of coordinates. The derived electric field E(r) is given by E(r) = q/r(2), th us it has the Coulomb form of a point charge in the Minkowski spacetime. Th is solution describes charged (anti)-de Sitter spaces. An interesting asymp totically flat solution arises for Lambda = 0. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B. V. All rights reserved.
