Shortcuts to high symmetry solutions in gravitational theories
read the original abstract
We apply the Weyl method, as sanctioned by Palais' symmetric criticality theorems, to obtain those -highly symmetric -geometries amenable to explicit solution, in generic gravitational models and dimension. The technique consists of judiciously violating the rules of variational principles by inserting highly symmetric, and seemingly gauge fixed, metrics into the action, then varying it directly to arrive at a small number of transparent, indexless, field equations. Illustrations include spherically and axially symmetric solutions in a wide range of models beyond D=4 Einstein theory; already at D=4, novel results emerge such as exclusion of Schwarzschild solutions in cubic curvature models and restrictions on ``independent'' integration parameters in quadratic ones. Another application of Weyl's method is an easy derivation of Birkhoff's theorem in systems with only tensor modes. Other uses are also suggested.

All $2D$ generalised dilaton theories from $d\geq 4$ gravities
All integrable 2D Horndeski theories (and thus many regular black-hole metrics) arise as spherical reductions of pure d≥4 gravities, which the paper terms quasi-topological.

All $2D$ generalised dilaton theories from $d\geq 4$ gravities
Generic 2D Horndeski theories arise from dimensional reduction of d≥4 gravities, yielding a Birkhoff theorem for quasi-topological gravities where static spherically symmetric solutions satisfy g_tt g_rr = -1 and are ...

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.

$g_{tt}g_{rr} =-1$ black hole thermodynamics in extended quasi-topological gravity
A unified framework links the generating function for static black holes satisfying g_tt g_rr=-1 in extended quasi-topological gravity to thermodynamic mass and Wald entropy via an effective 2D dilaton theory.

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