We show that the generic solutions of the Lovelock equations with spherical, planar or hyperbolic symmetry are locally isometric to the corresponding static Lovelock black hole. As a consequence, these solutions are locally static: they admit an additional Killing vector that can either be space-like or time-like, depending on the position. This result also holds in the presence of an abelian gauge field, in which case the solutions are locally isometric to a charged static black hole.

  1. Thermodynamics of Chern-Simons AdS$_5$ black holes coupled to $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ solitons

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Chern-Simons AdS5 black holes with SU(2) solitons have entropy that receives nontrivial contributions from axial torsion and trace-torsion modes, confirmed by multiple methods.
