Double instability of Schwarzschild black holes in Einstein-Weyl-scalar theory
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 (), whereas the linearized scalar has a tachyonic mass term (). 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 , the Schwarzschild black hole becomes unstable against Ricci-tensor perturbations, while tachyonic instability is achieved for . The former would provide a single branch of scalarized black holes, whereas the latter would induce infinite branches of scalarized black holes.
