Magnetized dynamical black holes

We construct a novel exact solution of the Einstein-scalar-Maxwell equations describing a dynamical black hole immersed in an external, time-dependent electromagnetic field. Motivated by the need for more realistic analytical black hole models, our construction incorporates two key ingredients often neglected in exact solutions: a fully dynamical cosmological background and the non-perturbative backreaction of external electromagnetic fields. The compact object is obtained by dressing a Schwarzschild black hole with a radially and temporally dependent scalar field, yielding a time-dependent generalization of the Fisher-Janis-Newman-Winicour solution within the Fonarev framework. The external electromagnetic field is generated via a Lie point symmetry of the Einstein-scalar-Maxwell system, which exports the effect of a Harrison transformation to dynamical settings provided a spacelike Killing vector is present. The resulting spacetime combines a spherically symmetric dynamical horizon with an axisymmetric electromagnetic field and exhibits a rich asymptotic structure mixing Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker and Levi-Civita geometries. We show that the time dependence of the configuration plays a crucial role in potentially cloaking curvature singularities, which would otherwise be generically naked in the stationary limit. We analyze the geometric and physical properties of the solution, including its asymptotic behavior, algebraic classification, and the structure of trapped surfaces defining the dynamical horizon. Possible implications for primordial black holes and some astrophysical applications, as well as extensions to higher dimensions, are also discussed.

From Bertotti--Robinson to Vacuum: New Exact Solutions in General Relativity via Harrison and Inversion Symmetries

We construct new vacuum solutions of the Einstein equations generated from electrovacuum configurations embedded in external electromagnetic backgrounds. Starting from accelerating Bertotti--Robinson black holes, we exploit two independent symmetries of the electrovacuum: a Melvin--Bonnor-type magnetization and a magnetic Inversion. In both constructions, the external electromagnetic field can be removed while still leaving a non-trivial gravitational backreaction in the metric, yielding new accelerating vacuum spacetimes of Petrov type I. In the static, non-accelerating limit, the magnetized Bertotti--Robinson--Schwarzschild case reproduces known results, while the Inversion symmetry produces a genuinely new vacuum configuration, a two-parameter extension of the Schwarzschild--Levi-Civita geometry. These constructions provide a systematic method for generating algebraically general vacuum geometries and illustrate how electromagnetic embeddings can induce non-trivial vacuum metrics in General Relativity. The main geometrical properties of these spacetimes are analyzed. Additionally, we present two further results: a stationary generalization of these vacuum geometries and two new static vacuum configurations obtained by applying the same symmetries to the Alekseev--García black hole seed.
