We propose a regularization procedure for the novel Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory of gravity, which produces a set of field equations that can be written in closed form in four dimensions. Our method consists of introducing a counter term into the action, and does not rely on the embedding or compactification of any higher-dimensional spaces. This counterterm is sufficient to cancel the divergence in the action that would otherwise occur, and exactly reproduces the trace of the field equations of the original formulation of the theory. All other field equations display an extra scalar gravitational degree of freedom in the gravitational sector, in keeping with the requirements of Lovelock's theorem. We discuss issues concerning the equivalence between our new regularized theory and the original.

Static regular black holes in Horndeski theories: analytic no-go and nonanalytic obstructions
Analytic nondegenerate shift-symmetric Horndeski theories admit no static spherical regular black holes with a time-independent scalar; the unique marginal nonanalytic completion is sGB, whose hairy solutions remain c...

Neutron stars in 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity
In 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, neutron stars turn unstable exactly at their maximum mass, but near the black hole limit some solutions regain stability, suggesting stable black-hole-sized objects.

Thermodynamics of four-dimensional regular black holes with an infinite tower of regularized curvature corrections
Planar regular black holes from an infinite tower of higher-curvature corrections are thermodynamically indistinguishable from singular GR black holes, while spherical horizons may lift this degeneracy.

Impact of hyperons on structural properties of neutron stars and hybrid stars within the regularized four-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity
In regularized 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, positive values of the Gauss-Bonnet coupling increase neutron star and hybrid star maximum masses, while negative values lower them, allowing astrophysical mass and rad...

Massive scalar field perturbations of 4D de Sitter Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet black holes
Massive scalar perturbations of 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet de Sitter black holes are stable and show three quasinormal mode branches, including a non-perturbative de Sitter branch that disappears in the Schwarzschild-de...

Traversable wormholes from a smoothed string fluid in 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity
A 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet wormhole sourced by a smoothed string fluid is built, but the advertised null-energy-condition satisfaction and asymptotic flatness are not supported by the paper's own equations.
