Large D limit of dimensionally continued gravity

In a recent paper Emparan et al. [arXiv:1302.6382] studied general relativity in the limit in which the number of spacetime dimensions D tends to infinity. They showed that, in such limit, the theory simplifies notably. It reduces to a theory whose fundamental objects, black holes and black branes,...
