Can a black hole that suffers a superradiant instability evolve towards a 'hairy' configuration which is stable? We address this question in the context of Einstein-charged scalar field theory. First, we describe a family of static black…
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…

As shown in the classic work of Belinski, Khalatnikov and Lifshitz, the approach to a generic space-like singularity in general relativity consists of a sequence of eras and epochs in which the metric is locally Kasner, connected by brief…
