In case of a spherically symmetric non-linear scalar field (SF) in flat space, besides singularity at the center, spherical singularities can occur for non-zero values of radial variable $r>0$. We show that in the General Relativity the gravitational field suppresses the occurrence of the spherical singularities under some generic conditions. Our consideration deals with asymptotically flat space-times around static spherically symmetric configurations in presence of $N$ non-linear SFs, which are minimally coupled to gravity. Constraints are imposed on the SF potentials, which guarantee a monotonicity of the fields as functions of radial variable; also the potentials are assumed to be exponentially bounded. We give direct proof that solutions of the joint system of Einstein -- SF equations satisfying the conditions of asymptotic flatness are regular for all values of $r$, except for naked singularities in the center $r=0$ in the Schwarzschild (curvature) coordinates. Asymptotic relations for SF and metric near the center are derived, which appear to be remarkably similar to the case of the Fisher solution for free SF. These relations determine two main types of the corresponding geodesic structure when photons can be captured by the singularity or not depending on the existence of the photon sphere. To illustrate, the case of one SF with monomial potential is analyzed in detail numerically. We show that the image of the accretion disk around the singularity, observed from infinity, can take the form of a bright ring with a dark spot in the center, like the case of an ordinary black hole.

There are a number of publications on relativistic objects dealing either with black holes or naked singularities in the center. Here we show that there exist static spherically symmetric solutions of Einstein equations with a strongly nonlinear scalar field with potential $V(varphi)simsinh(varphi^{2n})$, which allow the appearance of singularities of a new type (spherical singularities) outside the center of isolated configuration. The space-time is assumed to be asymptotically flat. Depending on the configuration parameters, we show that the distribution of the stable circular orbits of test bodies around the configuration is either similar to that in the case of the Schwarzschild solution (thus mimicking an ordinary black hole), or it contains additional rings of unstable orbits.
We search for self tuning solutions to the Einstein-scalar field equations for the simplest class of `Fab-Four models with constant potentials. We first review the conditions under which self tuning occurs in a cosmological spacetime, and by introducing a small modification to the original theory - introducing the second and third Galileon terms - show how one can obtain de Sitter states where the expansion rate is independent of the vacuum energy. We then consider whether the same self tuning mechanism can persist in a spherically symmetric inhomogeneous spacetime. We show that there are no asymptotically flat solutions to the field equations in which the vacuum energy is screened, other than the trivial one (Minkowski space). We then consider the possibility of constructing Schwarzschild de Sitter spacetimes for the modified Fab Four plus Galileon theory. We argue that the only model that can successfully screen the vacuum energy in both an FLRW and Schwarzschild de Sitter spacetime is one containing `John $sim G^{mu}{}_{ u} partial_{mu}phipartial^{ u}phi$ and a canonical kinetic term $sim partial_{alpha}phi partial^{alpha}phi$. This behaviour was first observed in (Babichev&Charmousis,2013). The screening mechanism, which requires redundancy of the scalar field equation in the `vacuum, fails for the `Paul term in an inhomogeneous spacetime.
We investigate the proper projective collineation in non-static spherically symmetric space-times using direct integration and algebraic techniques. Studying projective collineation in the above space-times, it is shown that the space-times which admit proper projective collineations turn out to be very special classes of static spherically symmetric space-times.
We study standard Einstein-Maxwell theory minimally coupled to a complex valued and self-interacting scalar field. We demonstrate that new, previously unnoticed spherically symmetric, charged black hole solutions with scalar hair exist in this model for sufficiently large gravitational coupling and sufficiently small electromagnetic coupling. The novel scalar hair has the form of a spatially oscillating wave packet and back-reacts on the space-time such that both the Ricci and the Kretschmann scalar, respectively, possess qualitatively similar oscillations.
The measurement of the epicyclic frequencies is a widely used astrophysical technique to infer information on a given self-gravitating system and on the related gravity background. We derive their explicit expressions in static and spherically symmetric wormhole spacetimes. We discuss how these theoretical results can be applied to: (1) detect the presence of a wormhole, distinguishing it by a black hole; (2) reconstruct wormhole solutions through the fit of the observational data, once we have them. Finally, we discuss the physical implications of our proposed epicyclic method.
