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 …

Black-hole thermodynamics in Lovelock gravity

RC Myers, JZ Simon - Physical Review D, 1988 - APS
The thermodynamic properties of black holes in Lovelock gravity are examined. In particular,
the case of the Einstein Lagrangian plus the four-dimensional Euler density is discussed in …

Higher-derivative gravity, surface terms, and string theory

RC Myers - Physical Review D, 1987 - APS
We consider adding Euler densities to the Einstein action as new gravity interactions in
higher-dimensional theories. When the appropriate surface terms are included, the surface …

Spherically symmetric solutions of Einstein-Maxwell theory with a Gauss-Bonnet term

DL Wiltshire - Physics Letters B, 1986 - Elsevier
The low energy expansion of supersymmetric string theory suggests that the leading
correction to the Einstein action is given by the Gauss-Bonnet invariant. A generalisation of …

Black holes in string-generated gravity models

DL Wiltshire - Physical Review D, 1988 - APS
Spherically symmetric solutions of d-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory with a Gauss-
Bonnet term are classified. All spherically symmetric solutions of d-dimensional Einstein …

Topological gravity and supergravity in various dimensions

AH Chamseddine - Nuclear Physics B, 1990 - Elsevier
Topological theories of gravity are constructed in odd-dimensional space-times of
dimensions 2n+ 1, using the Chern-Simons (2n+ 1)-forms and with the gauge groups ISO (1 …

Effective gravity theories with dilations

DG Boulware, S Deser - Physics Letters B, 1986 - Elsevier
Inclusion of the dilation in the Einstein plus Gauss-Bonnet model removes the de Sitter
ground state permitted in its absence; the generic case with higher order invariants is …

Conformal transformations and conformal invariance in gravitation

MP Dabrowski, J Garecki, DB Blaschke - Annalen der Physik, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Conformal transformations are frequently used tools in order to study relations between
various theories of gravity and Einstein's general relativity theory. In this paper we discuss …

Black holes in higher-derivative gravity theories

S Mignemi, DL Wiltshire - Physical Review D, 1992 - APS
We study static spherically symmetric solutions of Einstein gravity plus an action polynomial
in the Ricci scalar R of arbitrary degree n in an arbitrary dimension D. The global properties …
