1/r potential in higher dimensions

Abstract In Einstein gravity, gravitational potential goes as $$1/r^{d-3}$$ 1/rd-3 in d non-compactified spacetime dimensions, which assumes the familiar 1 / r form in four dimensions. On the other hand, it goes as $$1/r^{\alpha }$$ 1/rα , with $$\alpha =(d-2m-1)/m$$ α=(d-2m-1)/m , in pure Lovelock...
