Abstract: We prove that a generalized Schwarzschild-like ansatz can be consistently employed to construct $d$-dimensional static vacuum black hole solutions in any metric theory of gravity for which the Lagrangian is a scalar invariant constructed from the Riemann tensor and its covariant derivatives of arbitrary order. Namely, we show that, apart from containing two arbitrary functions $a(r)$ and $f(r)$ (essentially, the $g_{tt}$ and $g_{rr}$ components), in any such theory the line-element may admit as a base space {em any} isotropy-irreducible homogeneous space. Technically, this ensures that the field equations generically reduce to two ODEs for $a(r)$ and $f(r)$, and dramatically enlarges the space of black hole solutions and permitted horizon geometries for the considered theories. We then exemplify our results in concrete contexts by constructing solutions in particular theories such as Gauss-Bonnet, quadratic, $F(R)$ and $F$(Lovelock) gravity, and certain conformal gravities.

Review text

The (\(n+2\))-dimensional Schwarzschild spacetime has the Lorentzian metric \( g= - f(t) dt^2 + \frac{1}{f(t)} dr^2 + r^2 h \), where \(h\) is the metric of the \(n\)-dimensional sphere. In the paper under review, the authors consider a family of Schwarzschild-like metrics, by multiplying the previous metric on the (\(t,r\))-plane with a (positive) conformal factor function \(e^{a(r)}\), and by relaxing the hypothesis on \(h\), which is a Riemannian metric on an \(n\)-dimensional ``universal space. The main purpose of the paper is to obtain sufficient conditions on the metric \(h\) and on the functions \(f\) and \(a\), which enable the new Lorentzian metric to be consistently employed in theories of gravity modelling a static vacuum black hole. Examples are constructed in concrete contexts as solutions in particular theories, such as Gauss-Bonnet, quadratic, F(R) and F(Lovelock) gravity, and certain conformal gravities.
