Einstein-Maxwell-Gauss-Bonnet-axion theory in $4$-dimensional spacetime is investigated in this paper through a "Kaluza-Klein-like" process. Dual to systems at finite temperature with background magnetic field on three dimensions, the…
Three-dimensional Einstein gravity coupled to zero, one and two forms is solved in terms of a polyhomogeneous asymptotic expansion, generalising stationary black string solutions. From first order terms we obtain, in closed form, a new…

String theory is a promising candidate for a fundamental quantum theory of all interactions including Einstein gravity. Some solutions in string theory can be interpreted as black holes. Using the semi-analytic method and WKB method,the…
