abstract

We construct electrically charged Kerr black holes (BHs) with scalar hair. Firstly, we take an uncharged scalar field, interacting with the electromagnetic field only indirectly, via the background metric. The corresponding family of solutions, dubbed Kerr-Newman BHs with ungauged scalar hair, reduces to (a sub-family of) Kerr-Newman BHs in the limit of vanishing scalar hair and to uncharged rotating boson stars in the limit of vanishing horizon. It adds one extra parameter to the uncharged solutions: the total electric charge. This leading electromagnetic multipole moment is unaffected by the scalar hair and can be computed by using Gauss's law on any closed 2-surface surrounding (a spatial section of) the event horizon. By contrast, the first sub-leading electromagnetic multipole -- the magnetic dipole moment --, gets suppressed by the scalar hair, such that the gyromagnetic ratio is always smaller than the Kerr-Newman value ($g=2$). Secondly, we consider a gauged scalar field and obtain a family of Kerr-Newman BHs with gauged scalar hair. The electrically charged scalar field now stores a part of the total electric charge, which can only be computed by applying Gauss' law at spatial infinity and introduces a new solitonic limit -- electrically charged rotating boson stars. In both cases, we analyse some physical properties of the solutions.

  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. 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.

  3. Dynamical Boson Stars

    gr-qc 2012-02 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    Boson stars are particle-like solutions in general relativity that model dark matter, black hole mimickers, and binary systems.
