The action of EGB gravity coupled to nonlinear electrodynamics (NED) in D-dimensions is given by
where
G is the Newton’s constant,
has the dimension of (length)
2. The Lagrangian of ModLogNED, proposed in [
20], is
where we use Gaussian units. The parameter
(
) possesses the dimension of (length)
2,
is the field strength tensor, and
, where
B and
E are the induction magnetic and electric fields, correspondingly. Making use of the limit
in Equation (
2), we arrive at the Maxwell’s Lagrangian
. The GB Lagrangian has the structure
By varying action (1) with respect to the metric we have EGB equations
where
is the stress (energy-momentum) tensor. To obtain the solution of field equations we need to use an ansatz for the interval. But the validity of Birkhoff’s theorem [
30] for our case of 4D EGB gravity coupled to ModLogNED model is not proven. Therefore, to simplify the problem we consider magnetic black holes with the static spherically symmetric metric in
D dimension. In addition, we assume that components of the interval are restricted by the relation
. Thus, we suppose that the metric has the form
The

-dimensional sphere. By following [
13] we replace

and taking the limit
. We study the magnetic black holes and find
, where
q is a magnetic charge. Then the magnetic energy density becomes [

At the limit
and from Equation (
4) we obtain
By virtue of Equation (7 ) one finds
where
is the black hole magnetic mass. Making use of Equations (9) and (10) we obtain the solution to Equation (
8)
where
m is the constant of integration (the Schwarzschild mass) and the total black hole mass is
which is the ADM mass. At the limit
one has
Then making use of Equation (
11), for the negative branch, we obtain
that corresponds to GR coupled to Maxwell electrodynamics (the Reissner–Nordström solution).
It is worth mentioning that for spherically symmetric
D-dimensional line element (6), the Weyl tensor of the
D-dimensional spatial part becomes zero [
17]. Therefore, solution (11) corresponds to the consistent theory [
14,
15,
16]. By introducing the dimensionless variable
, Equation (
11) is rewritten in the form
where
We will use the negative branch in Equations (11) and (12) with the minus sign of the square root to have black holes without ghosts. As
,
the metric function
(11), for the negative branch, becomes
