Description

We present new classes of exact solutions to the five dimensional Einstein gravity with cosmological constant, coupled to the Maxwell and dilation fields. The theory has two coupling constants for dilation-Maxwell and dilation-cosmological constant terms. The solutions are non-stationary and moreover almost regular everywhere for non-zero coupling constants. The cosmological constant depends on the dilation coupling constant and can take positive, zero or negative values.
