Abstract

We introduce two classes of spherically symmetric spacetimes having a thin shell of matter, in non-quadratic F(R) theories of gravity with non-constant scalar curvature R. In the first, the thin shell joins an inner region with an outer one, while in the second it corresponds to the throat of a wormhole. In both scenarios, we analyze the stability of the static configurations under radial perturbations. As particular examples of spacetimes with a cosmological constant, we present charged thin shells surrounding a non-charged black hole and charged thin-shell wormholes. We show that in both cases stable solutions are possible for suitable values of the parameters.

Notes

  1. We adopt this name due to the formal resemblance with the usual mass, but it is not a free constant in the solution.

  2. In the same work [24], the study is also extended to a particular case of power-law nonlinear electrodynamics for which a black hole solution is obtained.

  3. The analytic expressions for the radii of the horizons are cumbersome, so they are not shown here.

  4. The remark of F.N. 3 applies again.
