Lovelock theory provides a tractable model of higher-curvature gravity in which several questions can be studied analytically. This is the reason why, in the last years, this theory has become the favorite arena to study the effects of…

Based on the fact that some important theories like string and M-theories predict spacetime with higher dimensions, so, in this paper, we aim to construct a theory of quintic quasitopological gravity in higher dimensions ($n\geq5$). This…
