Since the recent derivation of a well-defined $D\rightarrow 4$ limit for regularized 4D Einstein Gauss-Bonnet (4DEGB) gravity, there has been considerable interest in testing it as an alternative to Einstein's general theory of relativity.…
It is well known that the vacuum in the Einstein gravity, which is linear in the Riemann curvature, is trivial in the critical (2+1=3) dimension because vacuum solution is flat. It turns out that this is true in general for any odd critical…

The Lovelock gravity extends the theory of general relativity to higher dimensions in such a way that the field equations remain of second order. The theory has many constant coefficients with no a priori meaning. Nevertheless it is…
We drastically simplify the problem of linearizing a general higher-order theory of gravity. We reduce it to the evaluation of its Lagrangian on a particular Riemann tensor depending on two parameters, and the computation of two derivatives…
Starting from a generalised Kaluza-Klein action including arbitrary Horndeski potentials, we establish integrability and compatibility conditions that solve the generic field equations for spherical symmetry. The resulting theories can be…
We analyse the STU sectors of the four-dimensional maximal gauged supergravities with gauge groups ${\rm SO(8)}$, ${\rm SO(6)}\ltimes\mathbb{R}^{12}$ and $[{\rm SO(6)}\times{\rm SO(2)}]\ltimes\mathbb{R}^{12}$, and construct new domain-wall…
In this paper, we present a remarkably simple expression for the exact solution to the $D = 5$, $\mathcal{N} = 2$ supergravity coupled to three vector multiplets with the prepotential $\mathcal{V} = STU -W^2U \equiv 1$, which represents a…
In this work, the analysis of some new static black hole solutions of Lovelock gravity with nonconstant curvature transverse section is presented. It will be shown that the finiteness of the charges and the action principle rely on the…
Quantum gravitational corrections to black holes are studied in four and higher dimensions using a renormalisation group improvement of the metric. The quantum effects are worked out in detail for asymptotically safe gravity, where the…
This paper is devoted to the study of the constraint equations of the Lovelock gravity theories. In the case of an empty, compact, conformally flat, time-symmetric, and space-like manifold, we show that the Hamiltonian constraint equation…
We present the explicit form for all the four dimensional, static, spherically symmetric solutions in $(4+n)$-d Abelian Kaluza-Klein theory by performing a subset of $SO(2,n)$ transformations corresponding to four $SO(1,1)$ boosts on the…
Critical gravity is a quadratic curvature gravity in four dimensions which is ghost-free around the AdS background. Constructing a Vaidya-type exact solution, we show that the area of a black hole defined by a future outer trapping horizon…
We obtain new five-dimensional supersymmetric rotating multi-Kaluza-Klein black hole solutions with the Godel parameter in the Einstein-Maxwell system with a Chern-Simons term. These solutions have no closed timelike curve outside the black…
The Klein-Gordon equation is solved for di-Holeums (gravitational bound states of two micro black holes) for scalar and vector gravity in its static limit. The relativistic models confirm the predictions of the nonrelativistic Newtonian…

Lovelock gravity in $D$-dimensional space-times is considered adopting Cartan's structure equations. In this context, we find out exact solutions in cosmological and spherically symmetric backgrounds. In the latter case, we also derive…
We study slowly rotating black hole solutions in the six independent theories of Einstein Quartic Gravity (EQG) in four dimensions. Unlike in the static case for which all six theories yield the same solution, for rotating black holes we…
We study the general black hole solutions of dimensionally reduced five-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity. The reduced theory contains gravity, electromagnetism and a scalar field, with nonlinear corrections to the action and…
