Abstract

We study scalarization of slowly rotating black holes in the Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet (GB)-Chern-Simons (CS) theory. In the slow rotation approximation of a1a\ll1 with rotation parameter aa, the GB term is given by a term for Schwarzschild black hole, whereas the CS term takes a linear term of aa. The tachyonic instability for slowly rotating black holes represents the onset of spontaneous scalarization. We use the (2+1)-dimensional hyperboloidal foliation method to show the tachyonic instability for slowly rotating black holes by considering the time evolution of a spherically symmetric scalar mode. A threshold (existence) curve is obtained from the constant scalar modes under time evolution, which means the boundary between stable and unstable black holes. It is found that the slowly rotating black holes turn out to be unstable against a spherically symmetric scalar-mode propagation for positive coupling α\alpha. However, we could not find tachyonic instability and any aa-bound for scalarization for negative coupling α\alpha.
