A numeric solution for metric-affine gravity and Einstein’s gravitational theory with Proca matter — •Marc Toussaint — Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Cologne, 50923 Koeln, Germany

A special case of metric-affine gauge theory of gravity (MAG) is equivalent to general relativity with Proca matter as source. We study in detail a corresponding numeric solution of the Reissner-Nordström type. It is static, spherically symmetric, and of electric type. In particular, this solution has no horizon, so it has a naked singularity as its origin.
