The MTZ black hole, named after Cristian Martinez, Ricardo Troncoso and Jorge Zanelli, is a
black hole
A black hole is a region of spacetime where gravitation, gravity is so strong that nothing, including light or other Electromagnetic radiation, electromagnetic waves, has enough energy to escape it. The theory of general relativity predicts t ...
solution for (3+1)-dimensional gravity with a minimally coupled self-interacting
scalar field
In mathematics and physics, a scalar field is a function (mathematics), function associating a single number to every point (geometry), point in a space (mathematics), space – possibly physical space. The scalar may either be a pure Scalar ( ...
