Higher Dimensional Particle Model in Pure Lovelock Gravity

General Physics 2020-09-15 v2

Abstract

In this paper, based on the thin-shell formalism, we introduce a classical model for particles in the framework of n+1n+1-dimensional [n2]\left[\frac{n}{2}\right]-order pure Lovelock gravity. In particular, we construct a spherically symmetric particle of radius aa whose inside is a flat Minkowski spacetime while its outside is charged pLG solution. Knowing that in n+1n+1-dimensional spherically symmetric Einstein gravity (RR-gravity) such a particle model cannot be constructed, as we have discussed first, provides the main motivation for this study. In fact, it is the richness of Lovelock parameters that provides such a particle construction possible. On the thin-shell, the energy-momentum components are chosen to vanish, yet their normal derivatives are non-zero.
