It was recently shown that a scalar field suitably coupled to the Gauss-Bonnet invariant $mathcal{G}$ can undergo a spin-induced linear tachyonic instability near a Kerr black hole. This instability appears only once the dimensionless spin $j$ is sufficiently large, that is, $j gtrsim 0.5$. A tachyonic instability is the hallmark of spontaneous scalarization. Focusing, for illustrative purposes, on a class of theories that do exhibit this instability, we show that stationary, rotating black hole solutions do indeed have scalar hair once the spin-induced instability threshold is exceeded, while black holes that lie below the threshold are described by the Kerr solution. Our results provide strong support for spin-induced black hole scalarization.
In the presence of a complex scalar field scalar-tensor theory allows for scalarized rotating hairy black holes. We exhibit the domain of existence for these scalarized black holes, which is bounded by scalarized rotating boson stars and ordinary hairy black holes. We discuss the global properties of these solutions. Like their counterparts in general relativity, their angular momentum may exceed the Kerr bound, and their ergosurfaces may consist of a sphere and a ring, i.e., form an ergo-Saturn.
The phenomenon of spontaneous scalarization of Reissner-Nordstr{o}m (RN) black holes has recently been found in an Einstein-Maxwell-scalar (EMS) model due to a non-minimal coupling between the scalar and Maxwell fields. Non-linear electrodynamics, e.g., Born-Infeld (BI) electrodynamics, generalizes Maxwells theory in the strong field regime. Non-minimally coupling the BI field to the scalar field, we study spontaneous scalarization of an Einstein-Born-Infeld-scalar (EBIS) model in this paper. It shows that there are two types of scalarized black hole solutions, i.e., scalarized RN-like and Schwarzschild-like solutions. Although the behavior of scalarized RN-like solutions in the EBIS model is quite similar to that of scalarize solutions in the EMS model, we find that there exist significant differences between scalarized Schwarzschild-like solutions in the EBIS model and scalarized solutions in the EMS model. In particular, the domain of existence of scalarized Schwarzschild-like solutions possesses a certain region, which is composed of two branches. The branch of larger horizon area is a family of disconnected scalarized solutions, which do not bifurcate from scalar-free black holes. However, the branch of smaller horizon area may or may not bifurcate from scalar-free black holes depending on the parameters. Additionally, these two branches of scalarized solutions can be both entropically disfavored over comparable scalar-free black holes in some parameter region.
In this paper, we study spontaneous scalarization of asymptotically anti-de Sitter charged black holes in the Einstein-Maxwell-scalar model with a non-minimal coupling between the scalar and Maxwell fields. In this model, Reissner-Nordstrom-AdS (RNAdS) black holes are scalar-free black hole solutions, and may induce scalarized black holes due to the presence of a tachyonic instability of the scalar field near the event horizon. For RNAdS and scalarized black hole solutions, we investigate the domain of existence, perturbative stability against spherical perturbations and phase structure. In a micro-canonical ensemble, scalarized solutions are always thermodynamically preferred over RNAdS black holes. However, the system has much rich phase structure and phase transitions in a canonical ensemble. In particular, we report a RNAdS BH/scalarized BH/RNAdS BH reentrant phase transition, which is composed of a zeroth-order phase transition and a second-order one.
In this paper, we study static and spherically symmetric black hole (BH) solutions in the scalar-tensor theories with the coupling of the scalar field to the Gauss-Bonnet (GB) term $xi (phi) R_{rm GB}$, where $R_{rm GB}:=R^2-4R^{alphabeta}R_{alphabeta}+R^{alphabetamu u}R_{alphabetamu u}$ is the GB invariant and $xi(phi)$ is a function of the scalar field $phi$. Recently, it was shown that in these theories scalarized static and spherically symmetric BH solutions which are different from the Schwarzschild solution and possess the nontrivial profiles of the scalar field can be realized for certain choices of the coupling functions and parameters. These scalarized BH solutions are classified in terms of the number of nodes of the scalar field. It was then pointed out that in the case of the pure quadratic order coupling to the GB term, $xi(phi)=eta phi^2/8$, scalarized BH solutions with any number of nodes are unstable against the radial perturbation. In order to see how a higher order power of $phi$ in the coupling function $xi(phi)$ affects the properties of the scalarized BHs and their stability, we investigate scalarized BH solutions in the presence of the quartic order term in the GB coupling function, $xi(phi)=eta phi^2 (1+alpha phi^2)/8$. We clarify that the existence of the higher order term in the coupling function can realize scalarized BHs with zero nodes of the scalar field which are stable against the radial perturbation.
In this work we aim to investigate non-mainstream thick tori configurations around Kerr Black Holes with Scalar Hair (KBHsSH). For that goal, we provide a first approach using constant specific angular momentum non-self-gravitating Polish doughnuts. Through a series of examples, we show the feasibility of new topologies, such as double-centered tori with two cusps as well as similar structures as the ones found for rotating Boson Stars (BSs), namely tori endowed with two centers and a single cusp. These KBHsSH solutions are also shown to possibly house static surfaces, associated to the static rings present in these spacetimes. Through this report we highlight the differences between these fluid configurations when housed by some KBHsSH examples, standard Kerr black holes and rotating BSs.
