Radiating black holes in the novel 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity
Abstract
Recently Glavan and Lin [Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 081301 (2020)] formulated a novel Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity in which the Gauss-Bonnet coupling has been rescaled as and the theory is defined as the limit , which preserves the number degrees of freedom thereby free from the Ostrogradsky instability. We present exact spherically symmetric nonstatic null dust solutions in the novel 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity that bypasses the Lovelock theorem. Our solution represents radiating black holes and regains, in the limit , the famous Vaidya black hole of general relativity (GR). We discuss the horizon structure of black hole solutions to find that the three horizon-like loci that characterizes its structure, viz. , and have the relationship . The charged radiating black holes in the theory, generalizing Bonnor-Vaidya black holes, are also considered. In particular our results, in the limit , reduced exactly to \emph{vis--vis} 4D black holes of GR.
