Charged black hole solutions of non-linear electrodynamics and generalized gauge field theories

We summarize the main features of a class of \emph{asymptotically anomalous} (asymptotically flat, but non Schwarzschild-like) gravitational configurations in models of gravitating non-linear electrodynamics in three space dimensions, whose Lagrangian densities are defined as arbitrary functions of the two field invariants and constrained by several physical admissibility conditions. This class of models and their associated electrostatic spherically symmetric black hole solutions are characterized by the behaviours of the Lagrangian densities around the vacuum and at the boundary of their domain of definition.
