Uniform density static fluid sphere in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity and its universality
read the original abstract
In Newtonian theory, gravity inside a constant density static sphere is independent of spacetime dimension. Interestingly this general result is also carried over to Einsteinian as well as higher order Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (Lovelock) gravity notwithstanding their nonlinearity. We prove that the necessary and sufficient condition for universality of Schwarzschild interior solution describing a uniform density sphere for all $n\geq4$ is that its density is constant.

Buchdahl stars and bounds with cosmological constant
Generalized Buchdahl bounds on horizonless object compactness are derived in the presence of a cosmological constant, preserving universality while yielding method-dependent results.
