We drastically simplify the problem of linearizing a general higher-order theory of gravity. We reduce it to the evaluation of its Lagrangian on a particular Riemann tensor depending on two parameters, and the computation of two derivatives with respect to one of those parameters. We use our method to construct a D-dimensional cubic theory of gravity which satisfies the following properties: 1) it shares the spectrum of Einstein gravity, i.e., it only propagates a transverse and massless graviton on a maximally symmetric background; 2) the relative coefficients of the different curvature invariants involved are the same in all dimensions; 3) it is neither trivial nor topological in four dimensions. Up to cubic order in curvature, the only previously known theories satisfying the first two requirements are the Lovelock ones: Einstein gravity, Gauss-Bonnet and cubic-Lovelock. Of course, the last two theories fail to satisfy requirement 3 as they are, respectively, topological and trivial in four dimensions. We show that, up to cubic order, there exists only one additional theory satisfying requirements 1 and 2. Interestingly, this theory is, along with Einstein gravity, the only theory which also satisfies 3.

Unstable de Sitter inflationary solution in sixth-order gravity
For the sixth-order gravity action (2.1), the exact FLRW de Sitter solution is unstable whenever 3γ1+γ2<0, while the second-order limit admits a stable de Sitter attractor.

Scalarization of Charged Black Hole in Gauss-Bonnet Extended Starobinsky-Maxwell Gravity

Signatures of cubic gravity in the strong regime
Einsteinian cubic gravity shrinks (grows) black hole horizons for positive (negative) coupling and shifts the photon sphere enough that SgrA* shadow observations can bound the coupling to approximately 0.1.

Effect of $R^2$ on the stability of de Sitter solution of the generalized Einsteinian cubic gravity
Generalized Einsteinian cubic gravity admits a de Sitter solution from the P cubic term alone; stability analysis is incomplete until the R^2 term is added, which leaves the solution value unchanged.
