The Gauss–Bonnet Penrose inequality

Let MM be the mass, AA the horizon area, α\alpha the Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet coupling, and χ(Σ)\chi(\Sigma) the Euler characteristic of the horizon. Gauss–Bonnet Penrose conjecture. In Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet gravity, one should have

MA16π+παAχ(Σ).M\geq\sqrt{\frac{A}{16\pi}+\frac{\pi\alpha}{A}\chi(\Sigma)}.

This proposes the corresponding curvature-corrected Penrose inequality; the source gives no resolution status.
