The problem of reconstruction for static spherically-symmetric $4D$ metrics in scalar-Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet model

We consider the $4D$ gravitational model with a scalar field $\varphi$, Einstein and Gauss-Bonnet terms. The action of the model contains a potential term $U(\varphi)$, Gauss-Bonnet coupling function $f(\varphi)$ and a parameter $\varepsilon = \pm1$, where $\varepsilon = 1$ corresponds to ordinary scalar field and $\varepsilon = -1$ - to phantom one. Inspired by the recent works of Nojiri and Nashed, we explore a reconstruction procedure for a generic static spherically symmetric metric written in the Buchdal parametrization: $ds^2 = \left(A(u)\right)^{-1}du^2 - A(u)dt^2 + C(u)d\Omega^2$, with given $A(u) > 0$ and $C(u) > 0$. The procedure gives the relations for $U(\varphi(u))$, $f(\varphi(u))$ and $d\varphi/du$, which lead to exact solutions to equations of motion with a given metric. A key role in this approach is played by the solutions to a second order linear differential equation for the function $f(\varphi(u))$. The formalism is illustrated by two examples when: a) the Schwarzschild metric and b) the Ellis wormhole metric, are chosen as a starting point. For the first case a) the black hole solution with a ``trapped ghost'' is found which describes an ordinary scalar field outside the photon sphere and phantom scalar field inside the photon sphere. For the second case b) the sEGB-extension of the Ellis wormhole solution is found when the coupling function reads: $f(\varphi) = c_1 + c_0 ( \tan ( \varphi) + \frac{1}{3} (\tan ( \varphi))^3)$, where $c_1$ and $c_0$ are constants.
