Hawking evaporation of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet AdS black holes in $D\geqslant 4$ dimensions

Understand

Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory is a string-generated gravity theory when approaching the low energy limit.

• By introducing the higher order curvature terms, this theory is supposed to help to solve the black hole singularity problem.
• In this work, we investigate the evaporation of the static spherically symmetric neutral AdS black holes in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity in various spacetime dimensions with both positive and negative couping constant $\alpha$.
• By summarizing the asymptotic behavior of the evaporation process, we find the lifetime of the black holes is dimensional dependent.
