Spontaneous scalarization is a gravitational phenomenon in which deviations from general relativity arise once a certain threshold in curvature is exceeded, while being entirely absent below that threshold. For black holes, scalarization is known to... Read More about Black hole scalarization with Gauss-Bonnet and Ricci scalar couplings.

It was recently shown that a scalar field suitably coupled to the Gauss-Bonnet invariant G can undergo a spin-induced linear tachyonic instability near a Kerr black hole. This instability appears only once the dimensionless spin j is sufficiently lar... Read More about Spin-Induced Scalarized Black Holes.
