Gauss–Bonnet gravity
text:
In general relativity, Gauss–Bonnet gravity, also referred to as Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet gravity, is a modification of the Einstein–Hilbert action to include the Gauss–Bonnet term where This term is only nontrivial in 4+1D or greater, and as such, only applies to extra dimensional models. In 3+1D, it reduces to a topological surface term. This follows from the generalized Gauss–Bonnet theorem on a 4D manifold In lower dimensions, it identically vanishes. Despite being quadratic in the Riemann tens
