Scalar fields coupled to the Gauss-Bonnet invariant evade the known no-hair theorems and have nontrivial configurations around black holes. We focus on a scalar field that couples linearly to the Gauss-Bonnet invariant and hence exhibits shift symmetry. We study its dynamical evolution and the formation of scalar hair in a Schwarzschild background. We show that the evolution eventually settles to the known static hairy solutions in the appropriate limit.

  1. Growing black-hole hair in nonminimally coupled biscalar gravity

    gr-qc 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Numerical simulations in the decoupling limit show that an axion and a dilaton form non-trivial hair around black holes in axi-dilaton gravity, with the kinetic coupling between the fields increasing the effect.

  2. Scalarization and descalarization in hyperbolic encounters of black holes

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Numerical relativity in the decoupling limit reveals dynamical scalarization and spin-induced (de)scalarization during hyperbolic black hole encounters for both signs of the coupling.
