A bstract We comment on the recently introduced Gauss-Bonnet gravity in four dimensions.
We argue that it does not make sense to consider this theory to be defined by a set of D→ 4 …

[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 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 …

Derivation of regularized field equations for the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory in four dimensions

PGS Fernandes, P Carrilho, T Clifton, DJ Mulryne - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
We propose a regularization procedure for the novel Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory of
gravity, which produces a set of field equations that can be written in closed form in four …

Extended thermodynamics and microstructures of four-dimensional charged Gauss-Bonnet black hole in AdS space

SW Wei, YX Liu - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
The discovery of new four-dimensional black hole solutions presents a new approach to
understand the Gauss-Bonnet gravity in low dimensions. In this paper, we test the Gauss …
