Some recently discovered nonperturbative strong-field effects in tensor-scalar theories of gravitation are interpreted as a scalar analog of ferromagnetism: "spontaneous scalarization". This phenomenon leads to very significant deviations from general relativity in conditions involving strong gravitational fields, notably binary-pulsar experiments. Contrary to solar-system experiments, these deviations do not necessarily vanish when the weak-field scalar coupling tends to zero. We compute the scalar "form factors" measuring these deviations, and notably a parameter entering the pulsar timing observable gamma through scalar-field-induced variations of the inertia moment of the pulsar. An exploratory investigation of the confrontation between tensor-scalar theories and binary-pulsar experiments shows that nonperturbative scalar field effects are already very tightly constrained by published data on three binary-pulsar systems. We contrast the probing power of pulsar experiments with that of solar-system ones by plotting the regions they exclude in a generic two-dimensional plane of tensor-scalar theories.

Signatures from metastable oppositely-charged black hole binaries in scalar Gauss-Bonnet gravity
In scalar Gauss-Bonnet gravity, inspiraling black holes with opposite scalar charges can undergo a sudden charge-flip, changing scalar radiation from dipolar to quadrupolar and inducing orbital eccentricity.

Supermassive black hole scalarization and effective field theory
A canonical two-scalar EFT cannot naturally produce supermassive-only black hole scalarization, because the generated G^2 term has the wrong sign and is suppressed.

For scalarization of the full Bardeen spacetime, small magnetic charges give the usual smooth scalarization threshold, while large charges end in a 'frozen' horizonless scalarized state rather than a Bardeen black hole.

Spontaneous scalarization around a black hole in a dark matter halo
A Hernquist dark-matter halo is claimed to scalarize a central black hole, with the coupling quantized as η_n = −(n+1/2)²π³/(2C), but the mechanism requires ρ−p>0 while the paper's own formulas give ρ−p<0.
