Abstract
In this work we study a more restricted class of quasi-topological gravity theories where the higher curvature terms have no contribution to the equation of motion on general static spherically symmetric metric where gttgrr ≠ constant. We construct such theories up to quintic order in Riemann tensor and observe an important property of these theories: the higher order term in the Lagrangian vanishes identically when evaluated on the most general non-stationary spherically symmetric metric ansatz. This not only signals the higher terms could only have non-trivial effects when considering perturbations, but also makes the theories quasi-topological on a much wider range of metrics. As an example of the holographic effects of such theories, we consider a general Einstein-scalar theory and calculate it’s holographic shear viscosity.
