We investigate static, spherically symmetric solutions in Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity non-minimally coupled to a massless real scalar field, both in vacuum and in the presence of fermionic matter. Focusing on a specific quadratic…

Einstein's equations are known to lead to the formation of black holes and spacetime singularities. This appears to be a manifestation of the mathematical phenomenon of finite-time blowup: a formation of singularities from regular initial…

It is an open question whether solutions of the Einstein-Euler equations are smooth enough to admit locally inertial coordinates at points of shock wave interaction, or whether "regularity singularities" can exist at such points. The term…
