Lower-dimensional Gauss–Bonnet gravity and BTZ black holes

We consider the D→3 limit of Gauss–Bonnet gravity. We find two distinct but similar versions of the theory and obtain black hole solutions for each. For one theory the solution is an interesting generalization of the BTZ black hole that does not have constant curvature but whose thermodynamics is id...
