Compact object scalarization with general relativity as a cosmic attractor

Antoniou, Georgios; Bordin, Lorenzo; Sotiriou, Thomas P.

Abstract

We demonstrate that there are theories that exhibit spontaneous scalarization in the strong gravity regime while having general relativity with a constant scalar as a cosmological attractor. We identify the minimal model that has this property and discuss its extensions.
