Abstract The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) has the potential to reveal wonders
about the fundamental theory of nature at play in the extreme gravity regime, where the …

Scalarization is a mechanism that endows strongly self-gravitating bodies, such as neutron
stars and black holes, with a scalar-field configuration. It resembles a phase transition in that …

The dawn of the twenty-first century came with very positive prospects for gravity, cosmology,
and astrophysics. Technological progress made it possible for cosmology to enter to its …

It was recently shown that a scalar field suitably coupled to the Gauss-Bonnet invariant G
can undergo a spin-induced linear tachyonic instability near a Kerr black hole. This …

We construct black hole solutions with spin-induced scalarization in a class of models where
a scalar field is quadratically coupled to the topological Gauss-Bonnet term. Starting from the …

We study the dynamics of black holes in scalar Einstein–Gauss-Bonnet theories that exhibit
spontaneous black hole scalarization using recently introduced methods for solving the full …

We construct asymptotically flat, spinning, regular on and outside an event horizon,
scalarized black holes (SBHs) in extended scalar-tensor–Gauss-Bonnet models. They …

We study scalar fields in a black hole background and show that, when the scalar is suitably
coupled to curvature, rapid rotation can induce a tachyonic instability. This instability, which …

Massive vector fields feature in several areas of particle physics, eg, as carriers of weak
interactions, dark matter candidates, or an effective description of photons in a plasma. Here …

Recent gravitational wave observations allow us to probe gravity in the strong and
dynamical field regime. In this paper, we focus on testing Einstein-dilation Gauss-Bonnet …
