Horizons in 1+1 Dimensional Dilaton Gravity Coupled to Matter

We study the local behaviour of static solutions of a general 1+1 dimensional dilaton gravity theory coupled to scalar fields and Abelian gauge fields near horizons. This type of model includes in particular reductions of higher dimensional theories invariant under a sufficiently large isometry group. The solution near the horizon can in general be obtained solving a system of integral equations or in favourable cases in the form of a convergent series in the dilaton field.
