Charged Taub-NUT solution in Lovelock gravity with generalized Wheeler polynomials
arXiv:1908.06908 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.100.064051
Abstract
Wheeler's approach to finding exact solutions in Lovelock gravity has been predominantly applied to static spacetimes. This has led to a Birkhoff's theorem for arbitrary base manifolds in dimensions higher than four. In this work, we generalize the method and apply it to a stationary metric. Using this perspective, we present a Taub-NUT solution in eight-dimensional Lovelock gravity coupled to Maxwell fields. We use the first-order formalism to integrate the equations of motion in the torsion-free sector. The Maxwell field is presented explicitly with general integration constants, while the background metric is given implicitly in terms of a cubic algebraic equation for the metric function. We display precisely how the NUT parameter generalizes Wheeler polynomials in a highly nontrivial manner.
