Intersecting hypersurfaces and Lovelock Gravity
A theory of gravity in higher dimensions is considered. The usual Einstein-Hilbert action is supplemented with Lovelock terms, of higher order in the curvature tensor. These terms are important for the low energy action of string theories. The intersection of hypersurfaces is studied in the Lovelock theory. The study is restricted to hypersurfaces of co-dimension 1, (d− 1)-dimensional submanifo...
متن کاملPerturbative formalism of Lovelock gravity
In this work we develop a perturbative formalism for the treatment of Lovelock theories of gravity. We consider in detail D-dimensional models in Lovelock gravity with an induced metric given by the product of the metrics of two maximally symmetric spaces. We first explicitly obtain the Lovelock action, Hamiltonian constraint, gravitational momenta, and dynamical equations for this type of mini...
متن کاملBlack-hole thermodynamics in Lovelock gravity.
five dimensions, one finds that the specific heat of a black hole becomes positive at small mass, allowing the black hole to achieve stable equilibrium with its environment and giving it an infinite lifetime. This behavior is not universal, however, but it always occurs in 2k+1 dimensions for a Lovelock theory including the 2k-dimensional Euler density. For theories including six-derivative or ...
متن کاملBlack Holes in Einstein - Lovelock Gravity ∗
Static, spherically symmetric solutions of the field equations for a particular dimensional continuation of general relativity with negative cosmological constant are found. In even dimensions the solution has many similarities with the Schwarzschild metric. In odd dimensions, the equations of motion are explicitly anti de-Sitter invariant, and the solution is alike in many ways to the 2+1 blac...
متن کاملIntersecting membranes in AdS and Lovelock gravity
Colliding and intersecting thin membranes of matter are studied in the Lovelock higher order curvature theory of gravity. We restrict the study to constant curvature membranes in constant curvature AdS and dS background and consider their general intersections. This illustrates some key features which make the higher Lovelock theory different to the Einstein gravity. Lovelock terms couple hyper...
