| Resumo: | The propagation speed of the gravitational wave in scalar–Einstein–Gauss-Bonnet (sEGB) gravity is generally different from that of light. Using differential equation conditions for the speed of gravitational waves to coincide with the light speed in the expanding universe, we constructed a general class of sEGB gravities where this condition is satisfied and realistic inflation occurs. It is demonstrated that the condition that the speed of gravitational wave coincides with that of the light in the Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FRLW) universe is always different from the condition for gravitational wave speed in the sEGB black hole background. Moreover, it is shown that when gravitational wave speed in sEGB black hole is equal to the speed of light the black hole spacetime geometry is changing too so that formally there is no solution for such sEGB black hole. This may indicate that sEGB black holes hardly can be considered as realistic black holes unless some reasonable scenario to make gravitational wave speed to be equal to that of light is proposed, at least asymptotically. |
