Abstract

In this work we construct and analyse non-perturbative stationary and axially-symmetric black hole solutions in General Relativity coupled to an electromagnetic and an axion field. The axion field is coupled to the electromagnetic field, which leads to hairy solutions in the presence of an electric charge and rotation. We investigate the existence and characteristics of these solutions for different values of the spin, charge and coupling constant. Our analysis shows the presence of violations of the Kerr-Newman bound, solutions with large positive and negative values of the gyromagnetic ratio, and the existence of multiple branches of solutions with distinct properties, demonstrating that black hole uniqueness does not hold in this scenario. The code used in this study is publicly available, providing a valuable tool for further research on this model.
