We study a simple theory based on general relativity, minimally coupled to a constrained scalar triplet and to an auxiliary non-propagating three-form sector. Within a spherically symmetric hedgehog ansatz, the theory admits a continuous…
Recent work in the literature has studied a version of non-commutative Schwarzschild black holes where the effects of non-commutativity are described by a mass function depending on both the radial variable r and a non-commutativity…
As incarnations of gravity in its prime, black holes are arguably the best target for us to demystify gravity. Keeping in mind the prominent role black holes play in gravitational wave astronomy, it becomes a must for a theory to possess…
We prove three theorems in general relativity which rule out classical scalar hair of static, spherically symmetric, possibly electrically charged black holes. We first generalize Bekenstein's no--hair theorem for a multiplet of minimally…
We show that the rotating asymptotically anti de Sitter black hole solution of new massive gravity in three dimensions can support a static stealth configuration given by a conformally coupled scalar field. By static stealth configuration,…
Black holes have a unique sensitivity to the presence of ultralight matter fields or modifications of the underlying theory of gravity. In the present paper we combine both features by studying an ultralight, dynamical scalar field that is…
The Bardeen solution corresponding to Einstein field equations with a cosmological constant is a regular black hole. The main goal of this manuscript is to investigate the geometric structures in terms of curvature conditions admitted by…
We prove under certain assumptions no-hair theorems for non-canonical self-gravitating static multiple scalar fields in spherically symmetric spacetimes. It is shown that the only static, spherically symmetric and asymptotically flat black…
We study black holes in a modified gravity scenario involving a scalar field quadratically coupled to the Gauss-Bonnet invariant. The scalar is assumed to be in a spontaneously broken phase at spatial infinity due to a bare Higgs-like…
We study scalar fields in a black hole background and show that, when the scalar is suitably coupled to curvature, rapid rotation can induce a tachyonic instability. This instability, which is the hallmark of spontaneous scalarization in…
We study static and spherically symmetric black hole solutions in higher-order Maxwell-Einstein theories. We do not particularly focus on the degenerate classes of theories. For several specific choices of the coupling functions, we show…
We discuss the problem of the quantization and dynamic evolution of a scalar free field in the interior of a Schwarzschild black hole. A unitary approach to the dynamics of the quantized field is proposed: a time-dependent Hamiltonian…
We present exact dynamical and inhomogeneous solutions in three-dimensional AdS gravity with a conformally coupled scalar field. They contain stealth configurations of the scalar field overflying the BTZ spacetime and also solutions with a…
We show that there is a class of regular charged black hole with a charged de Sitter core similar to the de Sitter-Schwarzschild black hole. One can show that the total energy momentum tensor for the static and spherically symmetric photon…
Einstein gravity minimally coupled to a self-interacting scalar field is investigated in the static and isotropic situation. We explicitly construct in partially closed form a new black-hole solution with exponentially decaying scalar hair.…
We present the numerical evolution of a massive test scalar fields around a Schwarzschild space-time. We proceed by using hyperboloidal slices that approach future null infinity, which is the boundary of scalar fields, and also demand the…
We discuss a phase transition of a Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole to a hairy black hole in asymptotically flat spacetime. The hair is due to a massive charged scalar field. The no-hair theorem is evaded thanks to a derivative coupling of…
