Black Hole Solutions and Pressure Terms in Induced Gravity with Higgs Potential
We study the quintessential properties of the Black Hole solutions in a
scalar--tensor theory of gravity with Higgs potential in view of the static and
spherically symmetric line element. In view of our earlier results,
Reissner--Nordstr\"om-like and Schwarzschild Black Hole solutions are derived
with the introduction of a series-expansion method to solve the field equations
without and with Higgs field mass. The physical consequences of the Black Hole
solutions and the solutions obtained in the weak field limit are discussed in
detail by the virtue of the equation-of-state parameter, the scalar-field
excitations and the geodesic motion. The appearance of naked singularities is
also discussed together with the dependence of Black Hole horizons on the field
excitations, which are themselves dependent on pressure terms which effectively
screen the mass terms. A possible connection to flat rotation curves following
the interaction with the scalar field is also presented in the weak field limit
of gravity, together with a discussion of dynamical effects of scalar fields
and pressure terms on mass.Comment: 28 pages, 4 figures, contents and figures modified, major revision,

Higgs Scalar-Tensor Theory for Gravity and the Flat Rotation Curves of Spiral Galaxies
The scalar-tensor theory of gravity with the Higgs field as scalar field is
presented. For central symmetry it reproduces the empirically measured flat
rotation curves of galaxies. We approximate the galaxy by a polytropic gas
sphere with the polytropic index and a massive core.Comment: 17 pages, 12 figure
Non-minimal monopoles of the Dirac type as realization of the censorship conjecture
We discuss a class of exact solutions of a three-parameter non-minimally
extended Einstein-Maxwell model, which are attributed to non-minimal magnetic
monopoles of the Dirac type. We focus on the investigation of the gravitational
field of Dirac monopoles for those models, for which the singularity at the
central point is hidden inside of an event horizon independently on the mass
and charge of the object. We obtained the relationships between the non-minimal
coupling constants, for which this requirement is satisfied. As explicit
examples, we consider in detail two one-parameter models: first, non-minimally
extended Reissner-Nordstr\"om model (for the magnetically charged monopole),
second, the Drummond-Hathrell model.Comment: 9 pages; one reference added, accepted to Phys. Rev.
Scalar-field Pressure in Induced Gravity with Higgs Potential and Dark Matter
A model of induced gravity with a Higgs potential is investigated in detail
in view of the pressure components related to the scalar-field excitations. The
physical consequences emerging as an artifact due to the presence of these
pressure terms are analysed in terms of the constraints parting from energy
density, solar-relativistic effects and galactic dynamics along with the dark
matter halos.Comment: 26 pages, 3 figures, Minor revision, Published in JHE
