Unique quasi-topological theories with first-order equations are found for Taub-NUT, NHEK, swirling and related 4D symmetric metrics, enabling closed-form solutions and regular black holes from high-order curvature corrections.
Higher-order terms in an infinite tower of higher-derivative gravity regularize a 5D Proca-Maxwell system, creating frozen regular cores that mimic extremal black holes and satisfy all energy conditions.
All integrable 2D Horndeski theories (and thus many regular black-hole metrics) arise as spherical reductions of pure d≥4 gravities, which the paper terms quasi-topological.
Charged Bardeen and Hayward metrics become singular under deformed Einstein–Maxwell equations; more stringent regularity conditions are derived and improved regular charged metrics are constructed.
A unified framework links the generating function for static black holes satisfying g_tt g_rr=-1 in extended quasi-topological gravity to thermodynamic mass and Wald entropy via an effective 2D dilaton theory.
Derives exact charged black hole solutions in quasi-topological gravity with Born-Infeld electrodynamics, showing model-dependent regularity with some cases having finite-radius singularities and others replacing de Sitter cores with anti-de Sitter cores.
Regular black holes in quasi-topological gravity produce shifted electromagnetic absorption spectra and modified photon sphere radii relative to singular Tangherlini solutions, with deviations suppressed as spacetime dimensions increase.
Massive scalar quasinormal modes in quasi-topological black holes become long-lived as scalar mass grows, while photon-sphere radius, shadow size, and ISCO exhibit moderate deviations from Schwarzschild.
Higher dimensional regular black holes in quasi-topological gravity have suppressed grey-body factors and Hawking radiation compared to singular black holes in general relativity.
