The theory is formulated in the metric-affine (or Palatini) formalism, and exact analytical solutions are obtained. For lambda < 0, one finds that the solution has the same characteristics as the Schwarzschild black hole with a monopole charge in Einstein{\textquoteright}s GR. For lambda > 0, instead, the metric is more closely related to the Reissner-Nordstrom metric with a monopole charge and, in addition, it possesses a wormhole-like structure that allows for the geodesic completeness of the spacetime. Our solution recovers the expected limits when lambda = 0 and also at the asymptotic far limit. The angular deflection of light in this space-time in the weak field regime is also calculated.", optnote="WOS:000462920100010", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=3966), last updated on Wed, 22 May 2019 10:45:31 +0000", issn="2470-0010", doi="10.1103/PhysRevD.99.064053", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/1812.00471", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.99.064053", language="English" }
