New black hole solutions with a dynamical traceless nonmetricity tensor in Metric-Affine Gravity

TL;DR

This paper introduces new black hole solutions in Metric-Affine Gravity that incorporate dynamical traceless nonmetricity and shear charges, expanding the understanding of black hole characteristics beyond traditional models.

Contribution

It presents the first family of static, spherically symmetric black hole solutions with shear charges in a dynamical, post-Riemannian framework of Metric-Affine Gravity.

Findings

New black hole solutions with shear charges are derived.

The solutions include dynamical torsion and Weyl vector effects.

This broadens the spectrum of known black hole configurations in alternative gravity theories.

Abstract

In the framework of Metric-Affine Gravity, the existing correspondence between the Einstein tensor and the energy-momentum tensor of matter provided by General Relativity is extended towards a post-Riemannian description in terms of the torsion and nonmetricity fields, which are sourced by the spin, dilation and shear currents of matter. In this work, we focus on the dynamical role of the traceless part of the nonmetricity tensor and its intrinsic connection with shears, defining a model which encloses a new black hole solution endowed with shear charges. We show that the extension in the presence of dynamical torsion and Weyl vector leads to the broadest family of static and spherically symmetric black hole solutions with spin, dilation and shear charges in Metric-Affine Gravity so far.
