Interacting fields in general relativity theory

Abstract

The direct interaction of a massless neutral scalar field with an electromagnetic field is investigated with regard for the proper gravitational field. The interaction Lagrangian is chosen in the form Lint=FαβFαβ, Φ =eσψ−1, where the parameter σ characterizes the interaction force. Exact static spherically and cylindrically symmetric solutions are obtained. A solution with a finite total field energy is extracted. A comparison is made with the corresponding system in flat space-time. It is concluded that the gravitational field performs a regulatory function.
