In this note we revisit the analysis performed in arXiv:2305.07217 of odd-parity perturbations around static and spherically symmetric black holes in Einsteinian Cubic Gravity (ECG). We show that the additional propagating modes always have masses much above the cutoff of the theory. Therefore, contrary to what is claimed in that paper, the ECG black holes remain stable within the effective field theory regime. We consider the same analysis for a general cubic theory, showing that the ECG results are not special in this regard. We use the occasion to make some clarifications on the role, uses and limitations of ECG and its generalizations.

  1. Cosmological higher-curvature gravities

    gr-qc 2023-11 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Higher-curvature gravities are constructed in which both FLRW backgrounds and linearized scalar perturbations obey at most second-order differential equations.

  2. Effect of $R^2$ on the stability of de Sitter solution of the generalized Einsteinian cubic gravity

    physics.gen-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Generalized Einsteinian cubic gravity admits a de Sitter solution from the P cubic term alone; stability analysis is incomplete until the R^2 term is added, which leaves the solution value unchanged.
