Weyl-type solutions with multipolar scalar fields

A class of solutions in d -dimensional Einstein gravity minimally coupled to a massless scalar field is studied, where the spacetime metric is of a generalized Weyl form with $$d-2$$ d - 2 commuting Killing vectors. In addition to the procedure to generate scalar multipolar fields, a SO (2) symmetry can be exploited to generate further solutions. A particular result of this procedure is a solution that contains the scalar counterpart of the Schwarzschild–Melvin and the Fisher–Janis–Newman–Winicour solutions as particular limits. Furthermore, a Harrison-type transformation can also be performed to generate solutions with magnetic fields. Using this transformation we obtain a solution with magnetic and scalar fields present and contains both magnetic and scalar counterparts of Schwarzschild–Melvin as limits.
