abstract

Recently a $D$-dimensional regularization approach leading to the non-trivial $(3+1)$-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) effective description of gravity was formulated which was claimed to bypass the Lovelock's theorem and avoid Ostrogradsky instability. Later it was shown that the regularization is possible only for some broad, but limited, class of metrics and Aoki, Gorji and Mukohyama [arXiv:2005.03859] formulated a well-defined four-dimensional EGB theory, which breaks the Lorentz invariance in a theoretically consistent and observationally viable way. The black-hole solution of the first naive approach proved out to be also the exact solution of the well-defined theory. Here we calculate quasinormal modes of scalar, electromagnetic and gravitational perturbations and find the radius of shadow for spherically symmetric and asymptotically flat black holes with Gauss-Bonnet corrections. We show that the black hole is gravitationally stable when ($-16 M^2<\alpha \lessapprox 0.6 M^2$). The instability in the outer range is the eikonal one and it develops at high multipole numbers. The radius of the shadow $R_{Sh}$ obeys the linear law with a remarkable accuracy.

  1. Non-oscillatory gravitational quasinormal modes of Reissner-Nordstr\"om-de Sitter spacetime

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Purely imaginary gravitational quasinormal modes of Reissner-Nordström-de Sitter black holes are computed and shown to obey a universal small-hole formula and to generate late-time exponential tails.

  2. Transition from Regular Black Holes to Wormholes in Covariant Effective Quantum Gravity: Scattering, Quasinormal Modes, and Hawking Radiation

    gr-qc 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For a quantum-corrected spacetime, the fundamental quasinormal mode differs little from Schwarzschild, higher overtones deviate significantly, and wormhole states have extremely long-lived modes.

  3. Viscosity effects on the shadow of a non-rotating black hole

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Shear viscosity and spacetime-curvature transport alter synthetic black hole shadow images of stationary magnetized tori at the few-μJy level.

  4. Shadow of the generalized Vaidya black hole

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    For self-similar Husain black holes, the barotropic index α controls the shadow: α<1/2 enlarges it, α>1/2 shrinks it, with a quasistatic influx criterion for the time-dependent case.

  5. Echoes of a hairy black hole from gravitational decoupling

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Axial perturbations of a gravitationally decoupled hairy black hole develop a double-peak potential that dynamically generates echo-like late-time waveforms in a suitable (α, β) region.

  6. Charged black holes in Kalb-Ramond gravity: Weak Deflection Angle, Shadow cast, Quasinormal Modes and Neutrino annihilation

    gr-qc 2025-05 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    The Kalb-Ramond black hole phenomenology is mostly an extension of known results, and its shadow formula is internally inconsistent, invalidating the EHT-based constraints.

  7. Massive scalar field perturbations of 4D de Sitter Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet black holes

    gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Massive scalar perturbations of 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet de Sitter black holes are stable and show three quasinormal mode branches, including a non-perturbative de Sitter branch that disappears in the Schwarzschild-de...
