Gravitational Collapse in the EGB Gravity
Abstract
The Einstein- Gauss- Bonnet (EGB) gravity is an important modification of the Einstein theory of gravity and, for many gravitational phenomena, the Gauss- Bonnet (GB) correction term leads to drastic differences. In this paper, we study gravitational collapse in the -dimensional EGB theory. We construct the spherical marginally trapped surfaces and determine the evolution of marginally trapped surfaces when the infalling matter admits a wide variety of initial density distribution. We show that the location of black hole horizon depends crucially on the initial density and velocity profile of the inflating matter as well as on the GB coupling constant. A detailed comparison is made with the results of Einstein's theory.
