Abstract

We consider the Einstein-Maxwell self-interacting scalar field theory described by a potential V (φ) in 2+1 dimensions. The self-interaction potential is chosen to be of highly non-linear double Liouville type. Exact solutions, including chargeless black holes and singularity-free non-black-hole solutions are obtained in this model.
