We consider charged black holes with scalar hair obtained in a class of Einstein-Maxwell-scalar models, where the scalar field is coupled to the Maxwell invariant with a quartic coupling function. Besides the Reissner-Nordstr\"om black…
We report on a numerical investigation of black hole evolution in an Einstein dilaton Gauss-Bonnet (EdGB) gravity theory where the Gauss-Bonnet coupling and scalar (dilaton) field potential are symmetric under a global change in sign of the…
We develop a new technique for finding black hole solutions in modified gravity that have "stealth" hair, i.e., hair whose only gravitational effect is to tune the cosmological constant. We consider scalar-tensor theories in which…
We consider a gravitating system of vanishing cosmological constant consisting of an electromagnetic field and a scalar field coupled to the Einstein tensor. A Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole undergoes a second-order phase transition to a…
Fundamental fields are a natural outcome in cosmology and particle physics and might therefore serve as a proxy for more complex interactions. The equivalence principle implies that all forms of matter gravitate, and one therefore expects…
We parametrize a large class of corrections to general relativity which include a long-ranged gravitational scalar field as a dynamical degree of freedom in two ways: parametrizing the structure of the correction to the action, and…
One of the major obstacles to testing alternative theories of gravity with gravitational-wave data from merging binaries of compact objects is the formulation of their field equations, which is often mathematically ill-suited for time…
Black holes with resonant hair are static, spherical, electrically charged solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell-(gauged-)scalar system. Scalar self-interactions are mandatory for their existence. Initial dynamical studies restricted to…
In the context of massive gravity theories, we study holographic flows driven by a relevant scalar operator and interpolating between a UV 3-dimensional CFT and a trans-IR Kasner universe. For a large class of scalar potentials, the Cauchy…
The detection of black hole scalar hair, a possible deviation from general relativity's "no-hair" theorem, requires sensitive probes beyond conventional methods. This study proposes chaotic dynamics as a novel indicator for scalar hair in…
The final ringdown phase in a coalescence process is a valuable laboratory to test General Relativity and potentially constrain additional degrees of freedom in the gravitational sector. We introduce here an effective description for…
In this Ph.D. dissertation we study the emergence of black-hole and wormhole solutions in the framework of the Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet (EsGB) theory. Particularly we study a family of theories where the coupling function $f(\phi)$…
We provide strong numerical evidence for a new no-scalar-hair theorem for black holes in general relativity, which rules out spherical scalar hair of static four dimensional black holes if the scalar field theory, when coupled to gravity,…
We investigate the linear stability of scalarized black holes (BHs) and neutron stars (NSs) in the Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet (GB) theories against the odd- and even-parity perturbations including the higher multipole modes. We show that…
We present results from a numerical study of spherical gravitational collapse in shift symmetric Einstein dilaton Gauss-Bonnet (EdGB) gravity. This modified gravity theory has a single coupling parameter that when zero reduces to general…
The phenomenon of spontaneous scalarisation of charged black holes (BHs) has recently motivated studies of various Einstein-Maxwell-scalar models. Within these models, different classes of BH solutions are possible, depending on the…
We present a systematic exploration of the loss of predictivity in Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet (ESGB) gravity. We first formulate a gauge covariant method of characterizing the breakdown of the hyperbolicity of the equations of motion in…
We discuss with a rather critical eye the current situation of black hole (BH) solutions in $f(R)$ gravity and shed light about its geometrical and physical significance. We also argue about the meaning, existence or lack thereof of a…
Scale invariant theories of gravity give a compelling explanation to the early and late time acceleration of the Universe. Unlike most scalar-tensor theories, fifth forces are absent and it would therefore seem impossible to distinguish…
We study the linear stability of spontaneously scalarized black holes (BHs) induced by a scalar field $\phi$ coupled to a Gauss-Bonnet (GB) invariant $R_{\rm GB}^2$. For the scalar-GB coupling $\xi(\phi)=(\eta/8) (\phi^2+\alpha \phi^4)$,…
