We explore General Relativity solutions with stealth scalar hair in general quadratic higher-order scalar-tensor theories. Adopting the assumption that the scalar field has a constant kinetic term, we derive in a fully covariant manner a set of conditions under which the Euler-Lagrange equations allow General Relativity solutions as exact solutions in the presence of a general matter component minimally coupled to gravity. The scalar field possesses a nontrivial profile, which can be obtained by integrating the condition of constant kinetic term for each metric solution. We demonstrate the construction of the scalar field profile for several cases including the Kerr-Newman-de Sitter spacetime as a general black hole solution characterized by mass, charge, and angular momentum in the presence of a cosmological constant. We also show that asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes cannot support nontrivial scalar hair.

  1. Fragility of stealth solutions in mimetic gravity

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Stealth solutions in mimetic gravity decouple from background dynamics on the lambda=0 branch but impose an infinite hierarchy of constraints on perturbations, rendering the screening limit non-uniform and pathological.

  2. Testing Dark Energy with Black Hole Ringdown

    gr-qc 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Dynamical dark energy imprints O(1) shifts on black hole quasi-normal modes via cosmological hair, enabling constraints at 10^{-2} (LVK) to 10^{-4} (LISA) precision using the cubic Galileon as example.

  3. Stable black hole solutions with cosmological hair

    gr-qc 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Stable black hole solutions with cosmological scalar hair are explicitly derived in the cubic Galileon theory, recovering cosmological behavior at large distances and regular short-range dynamics.
