Lovelock theory is a natural extension of Einstein theory of gravity to higher dimensions, and it is of great interest in theoretical physics as it describes a wide class of models. In particular, it describes string theory inspired ultraviolet corrections to Einstein–Hilbert action, while admits the Einstein general relativity and the so-called Chern–Simons theories of gravity as particular cases. Here, we give an introduction to the black hole solutions of Lovelock theory and analyze their most important properties. These solutions can be regarded as generalizations of the Boulware–Deser solution of Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet gravity, which we discuss in detail here. We briefly discuss some recent progress in understanding these and other solutions, like topological black holes that represent black branes of the theory, and vacuum thin-shell wormhole-like geometries that connect two different asymptotically de Sitter spaces. We also make some comments on solutions with time-like naked singularities.

The illustration of cosmic acceleration is being presented in the framework of DGP braneworld and dynamical Chern–Simons modified gravity in the presence of casual Israel–Stewart formalism. In this way, we discuss the evolution parameter which leads to the accelerated expansion of the universe in the phantom as well as quintessence region for both gravities. The squared speed of sound [Formula: see text] leads to the stable behavior of the current physical system in both gravities in the later epoch. Also, the entropy variation, as well as thermal equilibrium condition, remains valid in both frameworks at the present and later epoch.

A procedure for constructing topological actions from centrally extended Lie algebras is introduced. For a Kac–Moody algebra, this produces the three-dimensional Chern–Simons theory, while for the Virasoro algebra, the result is a new three-dimensional topological field theory whose physical states satisfy the Virasoro Ward identity. This topological field theory is shown to be a first order formulation of two-dimensional induced gravity in the chiral gauge. The extension to W3 gravity is discussed.

We derive the Kac–Moody algebra and Virasoro algebra in Chern–Simons theory with boundary by using the symplectic reduction method and the Noether procedures.
