Spherically Symmetric Solutions in Higher-Derivative Gravity
read the original abstract
Extensions of Einstein gravity with quadratic curvature terms in the action arise in most effective theories of quantised gravity, including string theory. This article explores the set of static, spherically symmetric and asymptotically flat solutions of this class of theories. An important element in the analysis is the careful treatment of a Lichnerowicz-type `no-hair' theorem. From a Frobenius analysis of the asymptotic small-radius behaviour, the solution space is found to split into three asymptotic families, one of which contains the classic Schwarzschild solution. These three families are carefully analysed to determine the corresponding numbers of free parameters in each. One solution family is capable of arising from coupling to a distributional shell of matter near the origin; this family can then match on to an asymptotically flat solution at spatial infinity without encountering a horizon. Another family, with horizons, contains the Schwarzschild solution but includes also non-Schwarzschild black holes. The third family of solutions obtained from the Frobenius analysis is nonsingular and corresponds to `vacuum' solutions. In addition to the three families identified from near-origin behaviour, there are solutions that may be identified as `wormholes', which can match symmetrically on to another sheet of spacetime at finite radius.

Spherically symmetric solutions in quasi-local Einstein-Weyl gravity
In quasi-local Einstein-Weyl gravity, static spherically symmetric Frobenius solutions are classified: regular cores only, Schwarzschild-like horizons and wormhole throats, plus asymptotic 1/r^6 corrections to Schwarzschild.

Batalin-Fradkin-Vilkovisky Quantization of Quadratic Gravity
The BFV quantization of quadratic gravity is worked out to linearized order, yielding propagators whose pole masses reproduce Stelle's spectrum while distributing the negative-norm states differently across the sectors.

Batalin-Fradkin-Vilkovisky Quantization of Quadratic Gravity
BFV quantization of quadratic gravity produces propagators for fields with negative norms and a mass spectrum matching Stelle's results but distributed differently among the fields.
