(Compactified) black branes in four dimensional f(R)-gravity

A new family of analytical solutions in a four dimensional static spacetime is presented for f(R)-gravity. In contrast to General Relativity, we find that a non trivial black brane/string solution is supported in vacuum power law f(R)-gravity for appropriate values of the parameters characterizing the model and when axisymmetry is introduced in the line element. For the aforementioned solution, we perform a brief investigation over its basic thermodynamic quantities. (c) 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
