We discuss black holes in an effective theory derived from a superstring model, which includes a dilaton field, a gauge field and the Gauss-Bonnet term. Assuming U(1) or SU(2) symmetry for the gauge field, we find four types of spherically symmetric solutions, i.e., a neutral, an electrically charged, a magnetically charged and a ``colored'' black hole, and discuss their thermodynamical properties and fate via the Hawking evaporation process. For neutral and electrically charged black holes, we find critical point and a singular end point. Below the mass corresponding to the critical point, nosolution exists, while the curvature on the horizon diverges and anaked singularity appears at the singular point. A cusp structure in the mass-entropy diagram is found at the critical point and black holes on the branch between the critical and singular points become unstable. For magnetically charged and ``colored" black holes, the solution becomes singular just at the end point with a finite mass. Because the black hole temperature is always finite even at the critical point or the singular point, we may conclude that the evaporation process will not be stopped even at the critical point or the singular point, and the black hole will move to a dynamical evaporation phase or a naked singularity will appear.

  1. Inspiral gravitational waveforms from charged compact binaries with scalar hair

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    In Einstein-scalar-Maxwell theories, charged compact binaries produce gravitational waveforms containing a leading -1 post-Newtonian dipole correction controlled by one deviation parameter b.

  2. Scalar memory from compact binary coalescences

    gr-qc 2026-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In Ricci-coupled scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, the change in scalar charge during binary black hole mergers generates a scalar memory contribution that modifies the total memory signal on observable timescales.

  3. 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.

  4. Tidal Love Numbers of Neutron Stars in Horndeski Theories

    gr-qc 2025-01 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    In scalar-tensor theories, the 1/r^3 term used to extract neutron star tidal Love numbers contains a Love-number-independent contamination, computed here for minimally coupled and DEF scalar fields.

  5. $\alpha'$ corrections to self-dual gravitational instantons

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    α' corrections leave the metric of self-dual instantons unmodified but correct the dilaton and axion fields via Gauss-Bonnet and Pontrjagin terms, with no net correction to the Euclidean action to first order.

  6. 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.

  7. On the analogue of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory in 3+1 dimensions

    gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The trace anomaly effective action reproduces Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet Friedmann equations and perturbation spectra on FRW backgrounds with a specific scalar field solution.

  8. A Critical Point on the Hairy Black Hole Phase Boundary in the Improved Holographic Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton Theory

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In the improved holographic EMD model, two hairy black hole phases are separated by a U-shaped boundary whose lower branch is first-order and upper branch third-order, meeting at (mu_B,T)=(765.51,86.54) MeV.

  9. Slow-roll approximations in Einstein--Gauss--Bonnet gravity formulated in terms of e-folding numbers

    gr-qc 2024-11 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    For the exponential EGB model, the extended slow-roll approximation with V2=6U0(1-δ1)Q gives the same scalar field as the exact equations, while the standard approximation deviates after N≈5.
