We construct the most general, to cubic order in curvature, theory of gravity whose (most
general) static spherically symmetric vacuum solutions are fully described by a single field …

A bstract Einsteinian cubic gravity provides a holographic toy model of a nonsupersymmetric
CFT in three dimensions, analogous to the one defined by Quasi-topological gravity in four …

A bstract We construct a quintic quasi-topological gravity in five dimensions, ie a theory with
a Lagrangian containing\({\mathrm {\mathcal {R}}}^ 5\) terms and whose field equations are …

A bstract We construct the quartic version of generalized quasi-topological gravity, which
was recently constructed to cubic order in arXiv: 1703.01631. This class of theories includes …

We construct quartic quasitopological gravity, a theory of gravity containing terms quartic in
the curvature that yields second-order differential equations in the spherically symmetric …

We present several results concerning the free energy of odd-dimensional conformal field
theories (CFTs) on squashed spheres. First, we propose a formula which computes this …

Based on the modification to area-law due to thermal fluctuation at small horizon radius, we
investigate the thermodynamics of charged quasitopological and charged rotating …

A bstract We construct a plethora of new Euclidean AdS-Taub-NUT and bolt solutions of
several four-and six-dimensional higher-curvature theories of gravity with various base …

A bstract Quasi-topological terms in gravity can be viewed as those that give no contribution
to the equations of motion for a special subclass of metric ansätze. They therefore play no …

We study higher dimensional hairy black holes of quartic quasi-topological gravity in the
framework of non-abelian power-Yang–Mills theory. It is shown that real solutions of the …
