Lanczos–Lovelock models of gravity

T Padmanabhan, D Kothawala - Physics Reports, 2013 - Elsevier
Lanczos–Lovelock models of gravity represent a natural and elegant generalization of
Einstein's theory of gravity to higher dimensions. They are characterized by the fact that the …

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 …

A note on the total action of 4D Gauss–Bonnet theory

S Mahapatra - The European Physical Journal C, 2020 - Springer
Recently, a novel four-dimensional Gauss–Bonnet theory has been suggested as a limiting
case of the original D-dimensional theory with singular Gauss–Bonnet coupling constant α …

Multifield Galileons and higher codimension branes

K Hinterbichler, M Trodden, D Wesley - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields …, 2010 - APS
In the decoupling limit, the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati model reduces to the theory of a scalar
field π, with interactions including a specific cubic self-interaction—the Galileon term. This …

Lovelock black holes with a nonlinear Maxwell field

H Maeda, M Hassaine, C Martinez - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields …, 2009 - APS
We derive electrically charged black hole solutions of the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet equations
with a nonlinear electrodynamics source in n (≥ 5) dimensions. The spacetimes are given …

Symmetries for Galileons and DBI scalars on curved space

G Goon, K Hinterbichler… - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
We introduce a general class of four-dimensional effective field theories which include
curved space Galileons and DBI theories possessing nonlinear shift-like symmetries. These …

Universal entanglement and boundary geometry in conformal field theory

CP Herzog, KW Huang, K Jensen - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016 - Springer
A bstract Employing a conformal map to hyperbolic space cross a circle, we compute the
universal contribution to the vacuum entanglement entropy (EE) across a sphere in even …

Higher-curvature gravities from braneworlds and the holographic -theorem

P Bueno, R Emparan, Q Llorens - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We study the structure of the higher-curvature gravitational densities that are induced from
holographic renormalization in AdS d+ 1. In a braneworld construction, such densities define …

The Gauss-Bonnet topological scalar in the geometric trinity of gravity

F Bajardi, D Blixt, S Capozziello - arXiv preprint arXiv:2308.03632, 2023 - arxiv.org
The Gauss-Bonnet topological scalar is presented in metric-teleparallel formalism as well as
in the symmetric and general teleparallel formulations. In all of the aforementioned …

Holographic Lovelock gravities and black holes

J de Boer, M Kulaxizi, A Parnachev - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2010 - Springer
We study holographic implications of Lovelock gravities in AdS spacetimes. For a generic
Lovelock gravity in arbitrary spacetime dimensions we formulate the existence condition of …
