Static Spherically Symmetric Solutions in F(R) Gravity

Abstract

A Lagrangian derivation of the Equation of Motion (EOM) for static spherically symmetric metrics in F(R) modified gravity is presented. For a large class of metrics, our approach permits to reduce the EOM to a single equation and we show how it is possible to construct exact solutions in $F(R)$-gravity. All known exact solutions are recovered. We also exibit a new non trivial solution with non constant Ricci scalar.
