We propose a new model of black hole spontaneous scalarization that combines a scalar--Gauss--Bonnet interaction with a non--minimal coupling to a U(1) gauge field (a dark photon or an electromagnetic field). This construction generalizes…
The scalarization is a very interesting phenomena allowing to endow a compact object with scalar hair while leaving all the predictions in the weak field limit unaltered. In Gauss-Bonnet gravity the source of the scalar field can be the…

We study the nonlinear dynamics of black holes that carry scalar hair and binaries composed of such black holes. The scalar hair is due to a linear or exponential coupling between the scalar and the Gauss--Bonnet invariant. We work…

Scalar fields coupled to the Gauss-Bonnet invariant can undergo a tachyonic instability, leading to spontaneous scalarization of black holes. Studies of this effect have so far been restricted to single black hole spacetimes. We present the…
