Magnetized topological black holes of dimensionally continued gravity

Abstract

In this paper, a large family of topological black hole solutions of dimensionally continued gravity are derived. The action of Lovelock gravity is coupled to the exponential electrodynamics and the equations of motion are solved in the presence of a pure magnetic source. We work out the metric functions in terms of the parameter $\beta$ of exponential electrodynamics, and magnetic charge. Further, we couple Lovelock gravity to power-Yang-Mills theory and construct black holes, in diverse dimensions, having Yang-Mills magnetic charge. We also discuss the asymptotic bahaviour of metric functions and curvature invariants at the origin for both the models. The thermodynamics of resulting magnetized black hole solutions in the framework of two different models is also studied. The thermodynamical quantities like Hawking temperature, entropy and specific heat capacity at constant charge are found and we show that the resulting quantities satisfy the first law of black hole thermodynamics. We also study the magnetized hairy black holes of dimensionally continued gravity.
