Equivalence of solutions between the four-dimensional novel and regularized EGB theories in a cylindrically symmetric spacetime

Abstract Recently, a novel four-dimensional Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet (EGB) theory was presented to bypass the Lovelock’s theorem and to give nontrivial effects on the four-dimensional local gravity. The main mechanism is to introduce a redefinition $$\alpha \rightarrow \alpha /(D-4)$$ α → α / ( D - 4 )...
