Recently it has been proposed that the Gauss-Bonnet coupling parameter of Lovelock gravity may suitably be rescaled in order to admit physically viable models of celestial phenomena such that higher curvature effects are active in standard…

This work is devoted on the recently introduced Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity in four dimensions. The theory can bypass the Lovelock's theorem and avoids Ostrogradsky instability. The integrated part of this theory is the GB term gives rise…

For $n\in [-2,2]$ the $O(n)$ model on a random lattice has critical points to which a scaling behaviour characteristic of 2D gravity interacting with conformal matter fields with $c\in [-\infty,1]$ can be associated. Previously we have…

In this paper we, first, generalize the quasilocal definition of the stress energy tensor of Einstein gravity to the case of Lovelock gravity, by introducing the tensorial form of surface terms that make the action well-defined. We also…

We investigate the gravitational collapse of a spherically symmetric, perfect fluid with equation of state P = (Gamma -1)rho. We restrict attention to the ultrarelativistic (``kinetic-energy-dominated'', ``scale-free'') limit where black…

According to Lovelock's theorem, the Hilbert-Einstein and the Lovelock actions are indistinguishable from their field equations. However, they have different scalar-tensor counterparts, which correspond to the Brans-Dicke and the…
