The instability of vacua in Gauss-Bonnet gravity
Owing to the quadratic nature of the theory, Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity generically permits two distinct vacuum solutions. One solution (the ”Einstein” vacuum) has a well defined limit as the Gauss-Bonnet coupling goes to zero, whereas the other solution (the ”stringy” vacuum) does not. There has been some debate regarding the stability of these vacua, most recently from Deser & Tekin who ha...
متن کاملMagnetic Branes in Gauss-Bonnet Gravity
We present two new classes of magnetic brane solutions in Einstein-MaxwellGauss-Bonnet gravity with a negative cosmological constant. The first class of solutions yields an (n + 1)-dimensional spacetime with a longitudinal magnetic field generated by a static magnetic brane. We also generalize this solution to the case of spinning magnetic branes with one or more rotation parameters. We find th...
متن کاملPhase space of modified Gauss–Bonnet gravity
We investigate the evolution of non-vacuum Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) spacetimes with any spatial curvature in the context of Gauss-Bonnet gravity. The analysis employs a new method which enables us to explore the phase space of any specific theory of this class. We consider several examples, discussing the transition from a decelerating into an acceleration universe within thes...
متن کاملPost-Newtonian expansion for Gauss-Bonnet Gravity
The observed late time accelerated expansion of the universe [1] combined with the problems that arise when trying to rationalize it with the simplest of explanations, such as a cosmological constant [2], have triggered an increased interest in finding alternatives for the nature of dark energy. Scalar fields, widely used in the inflationary paradigm [3], constitute a familiar way of providing ...
متن کاملEinstein-Gauss-Bonnet Gravity with Dilaton
We obtain cosmological solutions which admit emergent universe (EU) scenario in the framework of Einstein Gauss-Bonnet gravity coupled with a dilaton field in four dimensions. The coupling parameter of the Gauss-Bonnet terms and the dilaton in the theory are determined for obtaining an EU scenario. The corresponding dilaton potential which admits such scenario is determined. It is found that th...
