Abstract

We explicitly find an exact spherically symmetric solution in quadratic non-metricity gravity. We show that the quadratic term acts as a cosmological constant. This solution contradicts all the claims in the literature that there is no spherically symmetric solution for higher-order non-metricity gravity. Moreover, we demonstrate that for the charged field equations, the solution can be identical to the non-charged case. This is because the off-diagonal components of the field equation do not feel the effect of the charge.
