Abstract
We construct a plethora of new Euclidean AdS-Taub-NUT and bolt solutions of several four- and six-dimensional higher-curvature theories of gravity with various base spaces ℬ. In D = 4, we consider Einsteinian cubic gravity, for which we construct solutions with \( \mathrm{\mathcal{B}}={\mathbb{S}}^2,{\mathbb{T}}^2 \). These represent the first generalizations of the Einstein gravity Taub-NUT/bolt solutions for any higher-curvature theory in four dimensions. In D = 6, we show that no new solutions are allowed for any Generalized quasi-topological gravity at cubic order. They exist however when we consider quartic Quasi-topological and Generalized quasi-topological terms, for which we construct new solutions with \( \mathrm{\mathcal{B}}=\mathbb{C}{\mathrm{\mathbb{P}}}^2,{\mathbb{S}}^2 \times {\mathbb{S}}^2,{\mathbb{S}}^2\times {\mathbb{T}}^2,{\mathbb{T}}^2\times {\mathbb{T}}^2 \). In all cases, the solutions are characterized by a single metric function, and they reduce to the corresponding ones in Einstein gravity when the higher-curvature couplings are set to zero. While the explicit profiles must be constructed numerically (except for a few cases), we obtain fully analytic expressions for the thermodynamic properties of all solutions. The new solutions present important differences with respect to Einstein gravity, including regular bolts for arbitrary values of the NUT charge, critical points, and re-entrant phase transitions.
