On black strings & branes in Lovelock gravity
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is well known that black strings and branes may be constructed in pure Einstein gravity simply by adding flat directions to a vacuum black hole solution. A similar construction holds in the presence of a cosmological constant. While these constructions fail in general Lovelock theories, we show that they carry over straightforwardly within a class of Lovelock gravity theories that have (locally) unique constant curvature vacua. ∗ email address: [email protected] † email address: [email protected]

The Lovelock Black Holes
Lovelock theory is a natural extension of Einstein theory of gravity to higher dimensions, and it is of great interest in theoretical physics as it describes a wide class of models. In particular, it describes string theory inspired ultraviolet corrections to Einstein-Hilbert action, while admits the Einstein general relativiy and the so called Chern-Simons theories of gravity as particular cas...
متن کاملThermodynamics of Rotating Charged Black Branes in Third Order Lovelock Gravity and the Counterterm Method
We generalize the quasilocal definition of the stress energy tensor of Einstein gravity to the case of third order Lovelock gravity, by introducing the surface terms that make the action welldefined. We also introduce the boundary counterterm that removes the divergences of the action and the conserved quantities of the solutions of third order Lovelock gravity with zero curvature boundary at c...
متن کاملSimple compactifications and Black p-branes in Gauss-Bonnet and Lovelock Theories
We look for the existence of asymptotically flat simple compactifications of the form MD−p × T p in D-dimensional gravity theories with higher powers of the curvature. Assuming the manifold MD−p to be spherically symmetric, it is shown that the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory admits this class of solutions only for the pure EinsteinHilbert or Gauss-Bonnet Lagrangians, but not for an arbitrary line...
متن کاملHigher order gravity theories and their black hole solutions
In these lectures notes, we will discuss a particular higher order gravity theory, Lovelock theory, that generalises in higher dimensions than 4, general relativity. After briefly motivating modifications of gravity, we will introduce the theory in question and we will argue that it is a unique, mathematically sensible, and physically interesting extension of general relativity. We will see, by...
متن کاملEntropy increase during physical processes for black holes in Lanczos-Lovelock gravity
We study quasistationary physical process for black holes within the context of Lanczos-Lovelock gravity. We show that the Wald entropy of the stationary black holes in Lanczos-Lovelock gravity monotonically increases for quasistationary physical processes in which the horizon is perturbed by the accretion of positive energy matter and the black hole ultimately settles down to a stationary stat...
