Description

Both boundary CFT causality and hyperbolicity of the bulk equations of motion constrain the coupling constant for Gauss-Bonnet gravity. We study these constraints for small black holes in AdS5. If we rule out solutions that violate local hyperbolicity via a `hyperbolicity censorship hypothesis', then we find the parameter space is not restricted beyond the $\lambda \lesssim 9/100$ limit from planar black holes.
