A new class of solutions of the magnetostatic Einstein-Maxwell equations (Q2461065)

In this short paper the authors use a specific nonlinear superposition method, the constants variations method, developed earlier by the first author. Using this approach, they obtain a nonlinear superposition of a particular solution of the Einstein-Maxwell equations with an arbitrary static axially symmetric electrovacuum spacetime, given in the standard Weyl form. Special cases admitting the Schwarzschild solution as a vacuum limit are also discussed. These, in some cases, correspond to the Schwarzschild black hole in various magnetic fields.
