Here we obtain the mass term of $M^2\propto Λ^2$ from the Gauss-Bonnet term, which is a ghost-free one. The condition that the massless limit is smooth is automatically satisfied for this case.5 pages, comments and references addedHigh Energy Physics - TheoryMass generation with Gauss-Bonnet term : No van Dam-Veltman-Zakharov discontinuity in AdS spacetext
