The Lovelock black holes

C Garraffo, G Giribet - Modern Physics Letters A, 2008 - World Scientific
Lovelock theory is a natural extension of Einstein theory of gravity to higher dimensions, and
it is of great interest in theoretical physics as it describes a wide class of models. In …

We present a new cubic theory of gravity in five dimensions which has second-order traced
field equations, analogous to BHT new massive gravity in three dimensions. Moreover, for …

Static wormhole solution for higher-dimensional gravity in vacuum

G Dotti, J Oliva, R Troncoso - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation …, 2007 - APS
A static wormhole solution for gravity in vacuum is found for odd dimensions greater than
four. In five dimensions the gravitational theory considered is described by the Einstein …

Generalized Vaidya spacetime in Lovelock gravity and thermodynamics on the apparent horizon

Black Holes in the Dilatonic Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet Theory in Various Dimensions. I: —Asymptotically Flat Black Holes—

ZK Guo, N Ohta, T Torii - Progress of Theoretical Physics, 2008 - academic.oup.com
We study spherically symmetric, asymptotically flat black hole solutions in the low-energy
effective heterotic string theory, which is the Einstein gravity with Gauss-Bonnet term and the …

Exploring cylindrical solutions in modified f(G) gravity

MJS Houndjo, ME Rodrigues, D Momeni… - Canadian Journal of …, 2014 - cdnsciencepub.com
We present detailed cylindrically symmetric solutions for a type of Gauss–Bonnet gravity. We
derive the full system of field equations and show that there exist seven families of exact …

Causal structures in Gauss-Bonnet gravity

K Izumi - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
We analyze causal structures in Gauss-Bonnet gravity. It is known that Gauss-Bonnet gravity
potentially has superluminal propagation of gravitons due to its noncanonical kinetic terms …
