We give an alternative description of the physical content of general relativity that does not require a Lorentz invariant spacetime. Instead, we find that gravity admits a dual description in terms of a theory where local size is…

We investigate solutions of a new $4D$ Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity ($4D$ $EGB$). We first describe the bulk vacuum solution, then we add a massive probe scalar field, and we follow considering a self-interacting scalar field which acts as…
