On causal structure of 4D-Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet black hole

Abstract The recently proposed effective equation of motion for the 4D-Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet gravity admits a static black hole solution that has, like the Rissner–Nordström charged black hole, two horizons instead of one for the Schwarzschild black hole. This means that the central singularity is t...
