A way of decoupling gravitational sources in pure Lovelock gravity

Abstract

Abstract We provide an algorithm that shows how to decouple gravitational sources in pure Lovelock gravity. This method allows to obtain several new and known analytic solutions of physical interest in scenarios with extra dimensions and with presence of higher curvature terms. Furthermore, using our method, it is shown that applying the minimal geometric deformation to the Anti de Sitter space time it is possible to obtain regular black hole solutions.
