Effective scalar-tensor description of regularized Lovelock gravity in four dimensions
read the original abstract
We reformulate the recently proposed regularized version of Lovelock gravity in four dimensions as a scalar-tensor theory. By promoting the warp factor of the internal space to a scalar degree of freedom by means of Kaluza-Klein reduction, we show that regularized Lovelock gravity can be described effectively by a certain subclass of the Horndeski theory. Cosmological aspects of this particular scalar-tensor theory are studied. It is found that the background with a scalar charge is generically allowed. The consequences of this scalar charge are briefly discussed.

Static regular black holes in Horndeski theories: analytic no-go and nonanalytic obstructions
Analytic no-go theorems exclude static regular black holes with time-independent scalars in nondegenerate Horndeski theories; the unique marginal nonanalytic completion is the singular sGB chain.

Horizon-scale tests of gravity theories and fundamental physics from the Event Horizon Telescope image of Sagittarius A$^*$
EHT observations of Sgr A* constrain deviations from GR black hole solutions including regular BHs, string-inspired spacetimes, and BH mimickers, with some limits exceeding cosmological bounds.
