We report on a numerical investigation of the stability of scalarized black holes in Einstein dilaton Gauss-Bonnet (EdGB) gravity in the full dynamical theory, though restricted to spherical symmetry. We find evidence that for sufficiently small curvature-couplings the resulting scalarized black hole solutions are nonlinearly stable. For such small couplings, we show that an elliptic region forms inside these EdGB black hole spacetimes (prior to any curvature singularity), and give evidence that this region remains censored from asymptotic view. However, for coupling values "superextremal" relative to a given black hole mass, an elliptic region forms exterior to the horizon, implying the exterior Cauchy problem is ill-posed in this regime.

Discussion (0). Continue with ORCID to comment.

  1. Spherically symmetric solutions in quasi-local Einstein-Weyl gravity

    gr-qc 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In quasi-local Einstein-Weyl gravity, static spherically symmetric Frobenius solutions are classified: regular cores only, Schwarzschild-like horizons and wormhole throats, plus asymptotic 1/r^6 corrections to Schwarzschild.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Inflaton Dynamics in Higher-Derivative Scalar-Tensor Theories of Gravity

    gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the weakly coupled regime of a four-derivative scalar-tensor theory, large inflationary inhomogeneities decay just as in general relativity, and only finely tuned initial data can escape the effective field theory'...

  5. SACRA-2D: New axisymmetric general relativistic hydrodynamics code with fixed mesh refinement

    astro-ph.HE 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    SACRA-2D is a new axisymmetric relativistic hydrodynamics code with the HLLC solver and adaptive mesh refinement, validated by benchmarks showing improved accuracy over the TVDLF solver.

  6. Can We Detect Deviations from Einstein's Gravity in Black Hole Ringdowns?

    gr-qc 2024-11 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Higher-derivative corrections to black hole ringdown spectra and quadratic modes are either absent or suppressed below detectability once causality is enforced, leaving Einstein's gravity as the sole observable description.
