The 4D Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet theory of gravity: a review

PGS Fernandes, P Carrilho, T Clifton… - … and Quantum Gravity, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We review the topic of 4D Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet (4DEGB) gravity, which has been the
subject of considerable interest over the past two years. Our review begins with a general …

Kaluza-klein gravity

JM Overduin, PS Wesson - Physics reports, 1997 - Elsevier
We review higher-dimensional unified theories from the general relativity, rather than the
particle physics side. Three distinct approaches to the subject are identified and contrasted …

Some properties of the Noether charge and a proposal for dynamical black hole entropy

V Iyer, RM Wald - Physical review D, 1994 - APS
We consider a general, classical theory of gravity with arbitrary matter fields in n dimensions,
arising from a diffeomorphism-invariant Lagrangian L. We first show that L alwasy can be …

Black holes in higher dimensional space-times

RC Myers, MJ Perry - Annals of Physics, 1986 - Elsevier
Black hole solutions to Einstein's equations are examined in asymptotically flat N+ 1
dimensional space-times. First generalizations of Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordstrøm …

Black holes and membranes in higher-dimensional theories with dilaton fields

GW Gibbons, K Maeda - Nuclear Physics B, 1988 - Elsevier
We consider scale invariant theories which couple gravity to Maxwell fields and
antisymmetric tensor fields with a dilaton field. We exhibit in a unified way solutions …

[HTML][HTML] Horndeski gravity as D→ 4 limit of Gauss-Bonnet

H Lü, Y Pang - Physics Letters B, 2020 - Elsevier
We propose a procedure for the D→ 4 limit of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) gravity that
leads to a well defined action principle in four dimensions. Our construction is based on …

[HTML][HTML] Charged black holes in AdS spaces in 4D Einstein Gauss-Bonnet gravity

PGS Fernandes - Physics Letters B, 2020 - Elsevier
Recently a non-trivial 4-dimensional theory of gravity that claims to circumvent Lovelock's
theorem and avoid Ostrogradsky instability was formulated in Glavan and Lin (2020)[1]. This …

Quasinormal modes, stability and shadows of a black hole in the 4D Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet gravity

RA Konoplya, AF Zinhailo - The European Physical Journal C, 2020 - Springer
Recently a D-dimensional regularization approach leading to the non-trivial (3+ 1)(3+ 1)-
dimensional Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet (EGB) effective description of gravity was formulated …

Rotating black holes in 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity and its shadow

R Kumar, SG Ghosh - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Recently there has been a surge of interest in regularizing, a D→ 4 limit of, the Einstein-
Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) gravity, and the resulting regularized 4D EGB gravity has nontrivial …

Gauss-Bonnet black holes in AdS spaces

RG Cai - Physical Review D, 2002 - APS
We study the thermodynamic properties and phase structures of topological black holes in
Einstein theory with a Gauss-Bonnet term and a negative cosmological constant. The event …
