    • Universal Black Holes 

      Hervik, Sigbjørn; Ortaggio, Marcello (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-02)
      We prove that a generalized Schwarzschild-like ansatz can be consistently employed to construct d-dimensional static vacuum black hole solutions in any metric theory of gravity for which the Lagrangian is a scalar invariant ...
    • Universal p-form black holes in generalized theories of gravity 

      Hervik, Sigbjørn; Ortaggio, Marcello (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-10)
      We explore how far one can go in constructing d-dimensional static black holes coupled to p-form and scalar fields before actually specifying the gravity and electrodynamics theory one wants to solve. At the same time, we ...
