Black 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 کاملGravity Coupled to Gauge Fields
Some exact static solutions for Einstein gravity in 2 + 1 dimensions coupled to abelian gauge field are discussed, where the invariant interval is of the form: ds = N(r)dt − dr − C(r)dθ. Some of these solutions are threedimensional analogs of the Schwarzschild black holes. The metrics in the regions inside and outside the horison are connected by the changing of the Planck mass sign. 1 On leave...
متن کاملIntersecting 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 کاملLiouville gravity from Einstein gravity
We show that Liouville gravity arises as the limit of pure Einstein gravity in 2+ ε dimensions as ε goes to zero, provided Newton’s constant scales with ε. Our procedure – spherical reduction, dualization, limit, dualizing back – passes several consistency tests: geometric properties, interactions with matter and the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy are as expected from Einstein gravity.
