Radiating black holes in the novel 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity

Abstract: Recently Glavan and Lin [Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 081301 (2020)] formulated a novel Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity in which the Gauss-Bonnet coupling has been rescaled as $\alpha/(D-4)$ and the $4D$ theory is defined as the limit $D \rightarrow 4$, which preserves the number degrees of freedom thereby free from the Ostrogradsky instability. We present exact spherically symmetric nonstatic null dust solutions in the novel 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity that bypasses the Lovelock theorem. Our solution represents radiating black holes and regains, in the limit $\alpha \rightarrow 0$, the famous Vaidya black hole of general relativity (GR). We discuss the horizon structure of black hole solutions to find that the three horizon-like loci that characterizes its structure, viz. $AH$, $EH$ and $ TLS $ have the relationship $r_{EH} < r_{AH} = r_{TLS}$. The charged radiating black holes in the theory, generalizing Bonnor-Vaidya black holes, are also considered. In particular our results, in the limit $\alpha \rightarrow 0$, reduced exactly to \emph{vis-$\grave{a}$-vis} 4D black holes of GR.
