Abstract

We discuss a four-dimensional gravitational action which was obtained replacing a Randall-Sundrum type metric in the so called five-dimensional Einstein-Chern-Simons gravity action. We studied black hole solutions of the corresponding 4-dimensional gravitational field equations. It is found that for a spherically symmetric metric such equations lead to a spacetime with a cosmological constant inversely proportional to the square of the compactification radius and to one solution dependent on an arbitrary constant C. If this constant is negative, we find a Schwarzschid-de Sitter black hole. If C is positive, the solution can be understood as a white hole solution which is obtained applying to the solution with C<0 the discrete coordinate transformation PT accompanied by the transformation C -C, with C>0, corresponding to a transformation known as mass reversal.
