In Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, for a group of warped product spacetimes, we get a generalized master equation for the perturbation of tensor type. We show that the effective metric or acoustic metric for the tensor perturbation equation can be defined even without a static condition. Since this master equation does not depend on the mode expansion, the hyperbolicity and causality of the tensor perturbation equation can be investigated for every mode of the perturbation. Based on the master equation, we study the hyperbolicity and causality for all relavent vacuum solutions of this theory. For each solution, we give the exact hyperbolic condition of the tensor perturbation equations. Our approach can also applied to dynamical spacetimes, and Vaidya spacetime have been investigated as an example.

We discuss the cosmological evolution of a braneworld in five dimensional Gauss-Bonnet gravity. Our discussion allows the fifth (bulk) dimension to be space-like as well as time-like. The resulting equations of motion have the form of a cubic equatio n in the (H^2,(rho+sigma)^2) plane, where sigma is the brane tension and rho is the matter density. This allows us to conduct a comprehensive pictorial analysis of cosmological evolution for the Gauss-Bonnet brane. The many interesting properties of this braneworld include the possibility of accelerated expansion at late times. For a finite region in parameter space the accelerated expansion can be phantom-like so that w < -1. At late times, this branch approaches de Sitter space (w = -1) and avoids the big-rip singularities usually present in phantom models. For a time-like extra dimension the Gauss-Bonnet brane can bounce and avoid the initial singularity.
We present results from a numerical study of spherical gravitational collapse in shift symmetric Einstein dilaton Gauss-Bonnet (EdGB) gravity. This modified gravity theory has a single coupling parameter that when zero reduces to general relativity ( GR) minimally coupled to a massless scalar field. We first show results from the weak EdGB coupling limit, where we obtain solutions that smoothly approach those of the Einstein-Klein-Gordon system of GR. Here, in the strong field case, though our code does not utilize horizon penetrating coordinates, we nevertheless find tentative evidence that approaching black hole formation the EdGB modifications cause the growth of scalar field hair, consistent with known static black hole solutions in EdGB gravity. For the strong EdGB coupling regime, in a companion paper we first showed results that even in the weak field (i.e. far from black hole formation), the EdGB equations are of mixed type: evolution of the initially hyperbolic system of partial differential equations lead to formation of a region where their character changes to elliptic. Here, we present more details about this regime. In particular, we show that an effective energy density based on the Misner-Sharp mass is negative near these elliptic regions, and similarly the null convergence condition is violated then.
The current trend concerning dense matter physics at sufficiently high densities and low temperatures is expected to behave as a degenerate Fermi gas of quarks forming Cooper pairs, namely a color superconductor, in the core of compact objects. In th is context, we study the anisotropy of quark stars (QSs) assuming the internal composition to be comprised of homogeneous, charge neutral 3-flavor interacting quark matter with $mathcal{O}(m_s^4)$ corrections. Using the equation of state (EoS) with the Tolmann-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) structure equations, we perform numerical calculation for quark stars and determine the maximum mass-radius relation in the context of $4D$ Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) gravity. In particular, we consider the effects of Gauss-Bonnet (GB) coupling constant on the diagrams related to mass-radius $(M-R)$ relation and the mass-central mass density $(M-rho_c)$ relation of QSs. We pay particular attention to the influence of the anisotropy in the equilibrium and stability of strange stars. We also study the other properties of QSs related to compactness and binding energy. Interestingly, our result provides circumstantial evidence in favor of super-massive pulsars in $4D$ EGB gravity.
We present the $d+1$ formulation of Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet (ESGB) theories in dimension $D=d+1$ and for arbitrary (spacelike or timelike) slicings. We first build an action which generalizes those of Gibbons-Hawking-York and Myers to ESGB theor ies, showing that they can be described by a Dirichlet variational principle. We then generalize the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner (ADM) Lagrangian and Hamiltonian to ESGB theories, as well as the resulting $d+1$ decomposition of the equations of motion. Unlike general relativity, the canonical momenta of ESGB theories are nonlinear in the extrinsic curvature. This has two main implications: (i) the ADM Hamiltonian is generically multivalued, and the associated Hamiltonian evolution is not predictable; (ii) the $d+1$ equations of motion are quasilinear, and they may break down in strongly curved, highly dynamical regimes. Our results should be useful to guide future developments of numerical relativity for ESGB gravity in the nonperturbative regime.
Recently it has been proposed that the Gauss-Bonnet coupling parameter of Lovelock gravity may suitably be rescaled in order to admit physically viable models of celestial phenomena such that higher curvature effects are active in standard four dimen sions as opposed to the usual higher dimensions. We investigate the consequences of this modification in the context of stellar modelling. The evolution of perfect fluid distributions is governed by the pressure isotropy condition and through stipulation of one of the metric potentials complete models emerge from solutions of the master differential equation. New classes of exact solution with this approach have been reported. One particular model is analysed in detail and shown to comport with elementary physical requirements demanded of realistic compact stars suggesting that the modified theory is not inconsistent with observations.
