Higher-dimensional black holes with a conformally invariant Maxwell source

Abstract: We consider an action for an abelian gauge field for which the density is given by a power of the Maxwell Lagrangian. In d spacetime dimensions this action is shown to enjoy the conformal invariance if the power is chosen as d/4. We take advantage of this conformal invariance to derive black hole solutions electrically charged with a purely radial electric field. Because of considering power of the Maxwell density, the black hole solutions exist only for dimensions which are multiples of four. The expression o… Show more

“…Since Heisenberg and Euler [23] noted that quantum electrodynamics predicts that the electromagnetic field behaves nonlinearly through the presence of virtual charged particles, the nonlinear electrodynamics has been an interesting subject for many years [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] because the nonlinear electrodynamics carries more information than the Maxwell field. One of the important nonlinear electrodynamics is the logarithmic electromagnetic field which appears in the description of vacuum polarization effects.…”

“…One of the special classes of nonlinear electrodynamics is Power Maxwell Invariant (PMI) theory [38,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60]. The PMI theory has an interesting result which distinguishes this nonlinear theory from others; this theory enjoys conformal invariancy when the power of Maxwell invariant is a quarter of spacetime dimensions (power = dimensions/4).…”

“…It is worth mentioning that the idea is to take advantages of the conformal symmetry to construct the analogues of the 4 dimensional Reissner-Nordström solutions with an inverse square law for the electric field of the point-like charges in arbitrary dimensions. Now, we take into account the Lagrangian of nonlinear PMI model with the following explicit form [38,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60] L…”

“…Quantized Maxwell theory in a conformally invariant gauge have been investigated by Esposito [21]. Also, there exists a conformally invariant extension of the Maxwell action in higher dimensions (Generalized Maxwell Field, GMF), if one uses the lagrangian of the U (1) gauge field in the form [22] …”
