We study scalar fields in a black hole background and show that, when the scalar is suitably coupled to curvature, rapid rotation can induce a tachyonic instability. This instability, which is the hallmark of spontaneous scalarization in the lineariz... Read More about Spin-Induced Black Hole Spontaneous Scalarization.
