Abstract

We study the stability of Schwarzschild black hole in Einstein-Weyl-scalar (EWS) theory with a quadratic scalar coupling to the Weyl term. Its linearized theory admits the Lichnerowicz equation for Ricci tensor as well as scalar equation. The linearized Ricci-tensor carries with a regular mass term (m22m^2_2), whereas the linearized scalar has a tachyonic mass term (1/m22-1/m^2_2). It turns out that the double instability of Schwarzschild black hole in EWS theory is given by Gregory-Laflamme and tachyonic instabilities. In the small mass regime of m2<0.876m_2<0.876, the Schwarzschild black hole becomes unstable against Ricci-tensor perturbations, while tachyonic instability is achieved for m2<1.174m_2<1.174. The former would provide a single branch of scalarized black holes, whereas the latter would induce infinite branches of scalarized black holes.
