Static black holes in general relativity modified by a linear scalar coupling to the Gauss-Bonnet invariant always carry hair. We show that the same mechanism that creates the hair makes it incompatible with a cosmological horizon. Other…

In this work we construct a static and spherically symmetric black hole geometry supported by a family of generic mono-parametric sources thorough the Gravitational Decoupling. The parameter characterizing the matter sector can be…

Test of the no-hair theorem is the primary target with gravitational waves from binary black holes. In this Letter, we analyze gravitational-wave data from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA detection of binary black-hole mergers using the PSI_FD model,…

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 introduce a novel, well-defined four-dimensional regularized Gauss-Bonnet theory of gravity by applying a dimensional regularization procedure. The resulting theory is a vector-tensor theory within the generalized Proca class. We then…

The no-hair theorem can be tested in the strong gravity regime by using the top-bottom approach and the bottom-top approach. The non-Kerr spacetime of the later approach is an ideal framework to do the tests in the region very close to the…

In these lectures the properties of magnetically charged black holes are described. In addition to the standard Reissner-N\"ordstrom solution, there are new types of static black holes that arise in theories containing electrically charged…

We consider $f(R)$ gravity theories in the presence of a scalar field minimally coupled to gravity with a self-interacting potential in $(2+1)$-dimensions. Without specifying the form of the $f(R)$ function, we first obtain an exact black…

The black hole no-short hair theorem establishes a universal lower bound on the extension of hairs outside any 4-dimensional spherically symmetric black hole solutions. We generalise this theorem beyond spherical symmetry, specifically for…

Dynamical dark energy theories generically introduce a time-dependent field that causes the accelerated expansion of the Universe on large scales. When embedding black hole solutions in such a cosmological spacetime, this time dependence…

We establish a no inner-horizon theorem for black holes with charged scalar hairs. Considering a general gravitational theory with a charged scalar field, we prove that there exists no inner Cauchy horizon for both spherical and planar…

We construct a family of asymptotically flat, rotating black holes with scalar hair and a regular horizon, within five dimensional Einstein's gravity minimally coupled to a complex, massive scalar field doublet. These solutions are…

A linear coupling between a scalar field and the Gauss-Bonnet invariant is the only known interaction term between a scalar and the metric that: respects shift symmetry; does not lead to higher order equations; inevitably introduces black…
