abstract
We assess the effect of the Cosmic Neutrino Background (C$\nu$B) on superradiant instabilities caused by an ultralight scalar field around spinning black holes (BHs). When the scalar couples to neutrinos via a Yukawa interaction, thermal corrections from the C$\nu$B induce a quartic self-interaction and an effective mass term for the scalar. We show that, for Yukawa couplings as small as $y_{\phi \nu} \sim 10^{-16}$ (for astrophysical BHs) or $10^{-20}$ (for supermassive BHs), the quartic term can quench the instability and set observable bounds, even if the scalar does not constitute dark matter. We assess the robustness of these constraints against several sources of uncertainty, including gravitational focusing of relic neutrinos, galactic clustering, and non-linear backreaction. An enhanced local neutrino density weakens the bounds by up to an order of magnitude compared to a uniform background, yet the induced self-interaction remains strong enough to significantly affect the superradiant dynamics. Our results open a new observational window on neutrino-coupled scalars via BH superradiance.

The Cosmic Neutrino Background is within Reach of Future Neutrino Telescopes
Including deep-inelastic scattering makes cosmic-ray-boosted relic neutrinos bright enough for IceCube to bound the CνB overdensity to ~100–1000, and future networks could reach the ΛCDM value.

Dark Matter-Independent Orbital Decay Bounds on Ultralight Bosons from OJ287
OJ287 orbital timing excludes ultralight scalar bosons with masses around 0.85 to 2.2 x 10^-21 eV through superradiance-cloud dynamical friction, independent of dark matter assumptions.

Ultralight dark matter search in a large liquid scintillator detector
A JUNO-like detector could constrain the neutrino–ultralight-dark-matter oscillation-modulation parameters to ηΔ21 < 2.5×10^-2 and ηΔ31 < 5×10^-3 at 90% CL.

Probing Weak-Force Corrections to Black Hole Geometry via Long Range Potentials: Feinberg-Sucher and Ferrer-Nowakowski Potentials
A heuristic model claims neutrino- and boson-mediated forces would shift black hole photon spheres and shadows, with attractive forces enlarging and repulsive forces shrinking them.
