Abstract

We investigated the critical dynamical scalarization and descalarization of black holes within the framework of the Einstein-Maxwell-scalar theory featuring higher-order coupling functions. Both the critical scalarization and descalarization displayed first-order phase transitions. When examining the nonlinear dynamics near the threshold, we always observed critical solutions that are linearly unstable static scalarized black holes. The critical dynamical scalarization and descalarization share certain similarities with the type I critical gravitational collapse. However, their initial configurations, critical solutions, and final outcomes differ significantly. To provide further insights into the dynamical results, we conducted a comparative analysis involving static solutions and perturbative analysis.
