Charged anti-de Sitter BTZ black holes in Maxwell-f(T) gravity

Abstract

Inspired by the Bañados, Teitelboim and Zanelli (BTZ) formalism, we discuss the Maxwell-[Formula: see text] gravity in [Formula: see text] dimensions. The main task is to derive exact solutions for a special form of [Formula: see text], with [Formula: see text] being the torsion scalar of Weitzenböck geometry. To this end, a triad field is applied to the equations of motion of charged [Formula: see text] and sets of circularly symmetric noncharged and charged solutions have been derived. We show that, in the charged case, the monopole-like and the [Formula: see text] terms are linked by a correlative constant despite the known results in teleparallel geometry and its extensions.[Formula: see text] Furthermore, it is possible to show that the event horizon is not identical with the Cauchy horizon due to such a constant. The singularities and the horizons of these black holes are examined: they are new and have no analogue in the literature due to the fact that their curvature singularities are soft. We calculate the energy content of these solutions by using the general vector form of the energy–momentum within the framework of [Formula: see text] gravity. Finally, some thermodynamical quantities, like entropy and Hawking temperature, are derived.
