Higher Dimensional Particle Model in Third-Order Lovelock Gravity
arXiv:1904.03957 · doi:10.1140/epjp/s13360-020-00602-6
Abstract
By using the formalism of thin-shells, we construct a geometrical model of a particle in third-order Lovelock gravity. This particular theory which is valid at least in 7 dimensions, provides enough degrees of freedom and grounds towards such a construction. The particle consists of a flat interior and a non-black hole exterior spacetimes whose mass, charge, and radius are determined from the junction conditions, in terms of the parameters of the theory.
