We obtain a new exact black-hole solution in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity with a cosmological constant which bears a specific relation to the Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant. The spacetime is a product of the usual 4-dimensional manifold…
Associated to every stationary extremal black hole is a unique near-horizon geometry, itself a solution of the field equations. These latter spacetimes are more tractable to analyze and most importantly, retain properties of the original…

We consider several different classes of asymptotically flat, rotating black objects in d = 5 Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) theory. These are first the black holes with two equal-magnitude angular momenta, in which case extremal…
In this article we deduce two new exact solutions of Einstein's equations for eternal black holes, now related to stiff matter, one `static' and another rotating (stationary like the Kerr one), thus the number of these eternal solutions…
