We study non-conformal negative modes of black holes in the five-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity theory with a zero or negative cosmological constant (which become Schwarzschild black holes in the Einstein limit), in the context of the semiclassical quantum gravity formulated by the path i...
