Continuations We need to solve the of equations of motion using numerical methods, and search for new AdS non-schwarzschild black holes We need to determine the asymptotic solutions of the full set of equations of motion, as we did before. Check if the AdS non-schwarzschild black holes obey the first law of thermodynamics. Calculate the energy of both critical gravity and massive gravity. Matching conditions for the numerical solutions and the asymptotic solutions. James Mashiyane WITS) Higher Derivative Gravity November 2017 15 / 15
