Abstract

We present a general solution of third order Lovelock gravity in the presence of a specific type II perfect fluid. This solution for linear equation of state, contains all the known solutions of third order Lovelock gravity in the literature and some new static and radiating solutions for different values of and . Specially, we consider the properties of static and radiating solutions for and with B=0 and . These solutions are asymptotically flat for B=0, while they are asymptotically (anti)-de Sitter for . The new static solutions for these choices of and present black holes with one or two horizons, extreme black holes or naked singularities provided the parameters of the solutions are chosen suitable. The static solution with and vanishing geometrical mass () may present a black hole with two inner and outer horizons. This is a peculiar feature of the third order Lovelock gravity, which does not occur in lower order Lovelock gravity. We also, investigate the properties of radiating solutions for these values of and , and compare the singularity strengths of them with the known radiating solutions of third order Lovelock gravity.
