2+1 dimensional magnetically charged solutions in Einstein - Power - Maxwell theory (1103.5646v3)

Abstract: We obtain a class of magnetically charged solutions in 2+1 dimensional Einstein - Power - Maxwell theory. In the linear Maxwell limit, such horizonless solutions are known to exist. We show that in 3D geometry, black hole solutions with magnetic charge does not exist even if it is sourced by power-Maxwell field. Physical properties of the solution with particular power k of the Maxwell field is investigated. The true timelike naked curvature singularity develops when k>1 which constitutes one of the striking effects of the power Maxwell field. For specific power parameter k, the occurrence of timelike naked singularity is analysed in quantum mechanical point of view. Quantum test fields obeying the Klein - Gordon and the Dirac equations are used to probe the singularity. It is shown that the class of static pure magnetic spacetime in the power Maxwell theory is quantum mechanically singular when it is probed with fields obeying Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations in the generic case.
