The derivation of the Demianski-Newman solution within the framework of the Ernst complex formalism is considered. We show that this solution naturally arises as a two-soliton specialization of the axisymmetric multi-soliton electrovacuum metric, and we work out the full set of the corresponding metrical fields and electromagnetic potentials. Some limits and physical properties of the DN space-time are briefly discussed.
Black hole p-brane solutions for a wide class of intersection rules are considered. The solutions are defined on a manifold which contains a product of n-1 Ricci-flat "internal'' spaces. The post-Newtonian parameters "beta" and "gamma" corresponding to a 4-dimensional section of the metric for general intersection rules are studied. It is shown that "beta" does not depend but "gamma" depends on brane intersections. For "block-orthogonal" intersection rules spherically symmetric solutions are considered, and explicit relations for post-Newtonian parameters are obtained. The bounds on parameters of solutions following from observational restrictions in the Solar system are presented.
The full metric describing a charged, magnetized generalization of the Tomimatsu-Sato (TS) $δ=2$ solution is presented in a concise explicit form. We use it to investigate some physical properties of the solution; in particular, we point out the existence of naked ring singularities in the hyperextreme TS metrics, the fact previously overlooked by the researchers, and we also demonstrate that the ring singularities can be eliminated by sufficiently strong magnetic fields in the subextreme case, while in the hyperextreme case the magnetic field can move singularities to the equatorial plane.
