All $2D$ generalised dilaton theories from $d\geq 4$ gravities
hep-th 2026-03 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

Generic 2D Horndeski theories arise from dimensional reduction of d≥4 gravities, yielding a Birkhoff theorem for quasi-topological gravities where static spherically symmetric solutions satisfy g_tt g_rr = -1 and are ...
Regular black holes from pure gravity in four dimensions

A construction of four-dimensional pure-gravity actions whose vacuum solutions include the Hayward and Dymnikova regular black holes, via a lift from two-dimensional Horndeski theory.
Strong coupling and instabilities in singularity-free inflation from an infinite sum of curvature corrections
gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

The infinite-sum Lovelock inflation solution is ruled out by strong scalar coupling and tensor Laplacian instabilities.
