Hayward black hole in scalar-Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity in four dimensions

Abstract: In the framework of scalar-Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, we construct the model which realizes the Hayward black hole and discuss the absence of ghosts in this model. Because Hayward black hole has two horizons but no curvature singularity, it may solve the problem of the information loss that might be generated by black holes. The Gauss-Bonnet term appears as a stringy correction, and therefore, our results might indicate that the stringy correction would solve the information loss problem.
