We derive a new set of field equations within the framework of the Palatini formalism. These equations are a natural generalization of the Einstein–Maxwell equations which arise by adding a function [Formula: see text], with [Formula: see text] to the Palatini Lagrangian f(R, Q). The result we obtain can be viewed as the coupling of gravity with a nonlinear extension of the electromagnetic field. In addition, a new method is introduced to solve the algebraic equation associated to the Ricci tensor.

Abstract This article is based upon the idea to solve the problem of combining the electromagnetic and the gravitational field by starting from Maxwell's theory. It is shown that the theory of the Maxwell field can be generalized in such a way that Einstein's theory of gravitation becomes a special case of it. Finally we find field equations which refer only to geometric quantities.

Abstract In this paper, generalized polytropic equation of state is used to get new classes of polytropic models from the solution of Einstein-Maxwell field equations for charged anisotropic fluid configuration. The models are developed for different values of polytropic index $$n=1,~\frac{1}{2},~2$$n=1,12,2. Masses and radii of eight different stars have been regained with the help of developed models. The speed of sound technique and graphical analysis of model parameters is used for the viability of developed models. The analysis of models indicates they are well behaved and physically viable.

AbstractObtaining solutions of the Einstein field equations describing spinning compact bodies is typically challenging. The Newman–Janis algorithm provides a procedure to obtain rotating spacetimes from a static, spherically symmetric, seed metric. It is not guaranteed, however, that the resulting rotating spacetime solves the same field equations as the seed. Moreover, the former may not be circular, and thus expressible in Boyer–Lindquist-like coordinates. Amongst the variations of the original procedure, a modified Newman–Janis algorithm (MNJA) has been proposed that, by construction, originates a circular, spinning spacetime, expressible in Boyer–Lindquist-like coordinates. As a down side, the procedure introduces an ambiguity, that requires extra assumptions on the matter content of the model. In this paper we observe that the rotating spacetimes obtained through the MNJA always admit separability of the Hamilton–Jacobi equation for the case of null geodesics, in which case, moreover, the aforementioned ambiguity has no impact, since it amounts to an overall metric conformal factor. We also show that the Hamilton–Jacobi equation for light rays propagating in a plasma admits separability if the plasma frequency obeys a certain constraint. As an illustration, we compute the shadow and lensing of some spinning black holes obtained by the MNJA.
