Collapsing spherical star in Scalar-Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity with a quadratic coupling

Abstract We study the evolution of a self interacting scalar field in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory in four dimension where the scalar field couples non minimally with the Gauss-Bonnet term. Considering a polynomial coupling of the scalar field with the Gauss-Bonnet term, a self-interaction potential...
