On the Existence of Solutions with a Horizon in Pure Scalar-Gauss-Bonnet Theories

Athanasios Bakopoulos, Panagiota Kanti, Nikolaos Pappas

We consider the Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet theory and assume that, at regimes of large curvature, the Ricci scalar may be ignored compared to the quadratic Gauss-Bonnet term. We…
