Higher Dimensional Exact Solutions of Einstein’s Field Equations for a Massive Point Particle with Scalar Point Charge

Abstract

The exact spherically symmetric static solution of Einstein’s field equations in higher dimensions for a massive point particle with a scalar point charge as the source of a massless scalar field is derived in Schwarzschild coordinates. There exists no Schwarzschild horizon. This result is an extension in higher dimensions of a similar one obtained by Hardell and Dehnen (1993) earlier for 4D space-time.
