This work focuses on constructing electromagnetized black holes and vortex-like backgrounds within the framework of the ModMax theory--the unique nonlinear extension of Maxwell's theory that preserves conformal symmetry and electromagnetic duality invariance. We begin by constructing the Melvin-Bonnor electromagnetic universe in ModMax through a limiting procedure that connects the spacetime of two charged accelerating black holes with that of a gravitating homogeneous electromagnetic field. Building on this result, we proceed to construct the Schwarzschild and C-metric Melvin-Bonnor black holes within the ModMax theory, representing the first black hole solutions embedded in an electromagnetic universe in the context of nonlinear electrodynamics. While the characteristics of the Melvin-Bonnor spacetime and some of its black hole extensions have been widely examined, we demonstrate for the first time that the Schwarzschild-Melvin-Bonnor configuration exhibits an unusual Kerr-Schild representation. Following this direction, we also unveil a novel Kerr-Schild construction for the spacetime of two accelerating black holes, drawing on the intrinsic relationship between the Melvin-Bonnor spacetime and the C-metric. Finally, we expand the spectrum of exact gravitational solutions within Einstein-ModMax theory by constructing a vortex-like background that coexists with the Melvin-Bonnor universe. In this process, the Taub-NUT spacetime in ModMax has played a crucial role. We present this Taub-NUT solution in a different gauge that facilitates the comparison with the Melvin-Bonnor-Swirling case.

    gr-qc 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The algebraic type of the Weyl and Ricci tensors in generalized Kerr-Schild spacetimes is bounded in speciality by the background, so the full geometry cannot be more special than its background.

    Generalized Harrison transformations in Einstein-ModMax theory generate a new black dihole solution and a dilaton generalization.

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The DC conductivity of beyond-Horndeski axionic black holes is shown to be independent of the primary scalar hair parameter, depending only on horizon data and axion and charge parameters.

  6. Black hole solutions in theory of ModMax-dRGT-like massive gravity

    gr-qc 2025-07 reject novelty 2.0 of 10

    Purely electric ModMax electrodynamics is just Maxwell with a rescaled coupling, so the reported ModMax-dRGT black holes are known dRGT-like massive gravity solutions with a redefined charge.
