Claims
We show that this hair exhibits both temporal and spatial growth on superhorizon scales. This growth is not a special consequence of the black hole, but instead follows from the dynamics of a minimally coupled massless scalar field in expanding de Sitter spacetime. Moreover, it is not even specific to black holes, but also arises for a point scalar charge in de Sitter, indicating that a scalarized black hole acts effectively as a localized subhorizon source of scalar perturbations.
The test-field regime in which back-reaction of the scalar hair on the metric is neglected remains valid long enough for the superhorizon growth to be observed, and that the linear coupling and shift symmetry of the scalar-Gauss-Bonnet theory are sufficient to capture the leading cosmological behavior.
Scalar hair sourced by black holes in de Sitter spacetime grows temporally and spatially on superhorizon scales due to the dynamics of a minimally coupled massless scalar field in expanding spacetime, carrying a steady outward energy flux.
