abstract

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.

  1. Rotating Black Holes in Einstein-Born-Infeld Theory

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Exact rotating charged Einstein-Born-Infeld black holes are constructed numerically; they show charge-dependent extremal or naked-singularity endpoints, gyromagnetic ratio above 2, and ISCO radii below Kerr-Newman values.

  2. Curvature-induced scalarization of charged AdS black holes

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The Breitenlohner-Freedman bound restricts Gauss-Bonnet scalarization of RN-AdS black holes to a single fundamental branch for 0<η<2.25, with a separate single branch for η<0.

  3. Spin-up and mass-gain in hyperbolic encounters of spinning black holes

    gr-qc 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Scattering black holes gain spin and mass by absorbing emitted gravitational radiation, with spin-up up to 0.3 and mass gain up to 15% in near-threshold encounters.

  4. Challenges in the nonlinear evolution of unequal mass binaries in sGB gravity

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    First full merger simulations of 2:1 and 3:1 black hole binaries in scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, with weak-coupling dephasing matching PN predictions but strong-coupling results limited by initial-data transients.

  5. Supermassive black hole scalarization and effective field theory

    gr-qc 2025-06 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    A canonical two-scalar EFT cannot naturally produce supermassive-only black hole scalarization, because the generated G^2 term has the wrong sign and is suppressed.

  6. Spin-induced Scalarized Black Holes in Einstein-Maxwell-scalar Models

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Spin-induced scalarized Kerr-Newman black holes are constructed numerically for negative coupling, and they coexist with stable, entropically favored Kerr-Newman black holes.

  7. Phase transitions in scalarized topological AdS black holes

    gr-qc 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Pressure drives scalarization transitions in spherical, planar, and hyperbolic AdS black holes from first-order through cave-of-wind to supercritical, and the spherical zeroth-order transition is claimed to be an inco...

  8. Scalarization of Bardeen spacetime

    gr-qc 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    For scalarization of the full Bardeen spacetime, small magnetic charges give the usual smooth scalarization threshold, while large charges end in a 'frozen' horizonless scalarized state rather than a Bardeen black hole.

  9. Quantum parameter-mass induced scalarization of qOS-black hole in the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet-scalar theory

    gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    For the quantum Oppenheimer-Snyder black hole, the heat capacity Davies points coincide exactly with the critical onset values for spontaneous scalarization in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet-scalar gravity.

  10. Two scalarizations of magnetically charged black holes

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    For a magnetically charged black hole in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet-scalar theory with nonlinear electrodynamics, the paper derives thermodynamic relations, finds shadow-based mass constraints, and predicts two scalarizati...
