Scalar-tensor theories are well studied extensions of general relativity that offer deviations which are yet within observational boundaries. We present the time evolution equations governing the perturbations of a nonrotating scalarized neutron star, including a dynamic spacetime as well as scalar field within the framework of such scalar-tensor theories. We employ a theory that allows for a massive scalar field or a self-interaction term and we study the impact of those parameters on the non-axisymmetric $f$-mode. The time evolution approach allows for a comparatively simple implementation of the boundary conditions. We find that the $f$-mode frequency is no longer a simple function of the stars average density when a scalar field is present. We also evaluate the accuracy of different variants of the Cowling approximation commonly used in previous studies of neutron star oscillation modes in alternative theories of gravity and demonstrate that it can give us not only qualitatively correct results, but in some cases also good quantitative estimates of the oscillations frequencies.

It was recently shown, that in a class of tensor-multi-scalar theories of gravity with a nontrivial target space metric, there exist scalarized neutron star solutions. An important property of these compact objects is that the scalar charge is zero a nd therefore, the binary pulsar experiments can not impose constraints based on the absence of scalar dipole radiation. Moreover, the structure of the solutions is very complicated. For a fixed central energy density up to three neutron star solutions can exist -- one general relativistic and two scalarized, that is quite different from the scalarization in other alternative theories of gravity. In the present paper we address the stability of these solutions using two independent approaches -- solving the linearized radial perturbation equations and performing nonlinear simulations in spherical symmetry. The results show that the change of stability occurs at the maximum mass models and all solutions before that point are stable. This leads to the interesting consequence that there exists a stable part of the scalarized branch close to the bifurcation point where the mass of the star increases with the decrease of the central energy density.
In a certain class of scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, the black holes and the neutron stars can undergo spontaneous scalarization - a strong gravity phase transition triggered by a tachyonic instability due to the non-minimal coupling between the scalar field and the spacetime curvature. Studies of this phenomenon have so far been restricted mainly to the study of the tachyonic instability and stationary scalarized black holes and neutron stars. Up to date there has been proposed no realistic physical mechanism for the formation of isolated scalarized black holes and neutron stars. We study for the first time the stellar core collapse to a black hole and a neutron star in scalar-Gauss-Bonnet theories allowing for a spontaneous scalarization. We show that the core collapse can produce scalarized black holes and scalarized neutron stars starting with a non-scalarized progenitor star.
We report on a numerical investigation of the stability of scalarized black holes in Einstein dilaton Gauss-Bonnet (EdGB) gravity in the full dynamical theory, though restricted to spherical symmetry. We find evidence that for sufficiently small curv ature-couplings the resulting scalarized black hole solutions are nonlinearly stable. For such small couplings, we show that an elliptic region forms inside these EdGB black hole spacetimes (prior to any curvature singularity), and give evidence that this region remains censored from asymptotic view. However, for coupling values superextremal relative to a given black hole mass, an elliptic region forms exterior to the horizon, implying the exterior Cauchy problem is ill-posed in this regime.
We construct scalarized wormholes with a NUT charge in higher curvature theories. We consider both Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet and Einstein-scalar-Chern-Simons theories, following a recent paper by Brihaye et al. [1], where spontaneously scalarised Schwarzschild-NUT solutions were studied. By varying the coupling parameter and the scalar charge we determine the domain of existence of the scalarized nutty wormholes, and their dependence on the NUT charge. In the Gauss-Bonnet case the known set of scalarized wormholes [2] is reached in the limit of vanishing NUT charge. In the Chern-Simons case, however, the limit is peculiar, since with vanishing NUT charge the coupling constant diverges. We focus on scalarized nutty wormholes with a single throat and study their properties. All these scalarized nutty wormholes feature a critical polar angle, beyond which closed timelike curves are present.

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 hai ry 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.
