In this paper we show that pure Lovelock static Schwarzschild's analogue black hole in dimensions $d>3N+1$, where $N$ is the degree of Lovelock polynomial action, is stable even though pure Gauss-Bonnet $N=2$ black hole is unstable in dimension $d<7$. We also discuss and compare quasinormal modes for pure Lovelock and the corresponding Einstein black hole in the same dimension. We find that perturbations decay with characteristic time which is weakly dimensional dependent as it depends only on the gravitational potential of the background solution, while frequency of oscillations however depend on the dimension. Also we show that spectrum of perturbations is not isospectral except in $d=4$.

  1. On mass inflation and thin shells in quasi-topological gravity

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Regular black holes in quasi-topological gravity lack null thin shells in standard distributional theory, invalidating the usual mass inflation derivation and leaving inner horizon stability unresolved.
