Singular solutions of BI <strong>Theory</strong><br />

In BI theory singular solutions have finite energy!<br />

Typical example: “Catenoid” solution of scalar BI <strong>Theory</strong> in 4dim<br />

Catenoid is static spherically symmetrical solution,<br />

it looks like BI-on solution, but with singularity in its derivative<br />

at finite radius (so called “horizon” surface).<br />
