M Khodadi, A Allahyari, S Vagnozzi… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Searching for violations of the no-hair theorem (NHT) is a powerful way to test gravity, and
more generally fundamental physics, particularly with regards to the existence of additional …

Charged Gauss-Bonnet black holes with curvature induced scalarization in the extended scalar-tensor theories

DD Doneva, S Kiorpelidi, PG Nedkova… - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
Recently new scalarized black hole solutions were constructed in the extended scalar-
tensor-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, where the scalar field is sourced by the curvature of the …

Higher-dimensional black holes with a conformally invariant Maxwell source

M Hassaine, C Martinez - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation …, 2007 - APS
We consider an action for an Abelian gauge field for which the density is given by a power of
the Maxwell Lagrangian. In d spacetime dimensions this action is shown to enjoy conformal …

Gravity with a generalized conformal scalar field: theory and solutions

PGS Fernandes - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We naturally extend general relativity with a conformally coupled scalar field by only
requiring conformal invariance of the scalar field equation of motion and not of the action …

Scalarization of Chern-Simons-Kerr black hole solutions and wormholes

N Chatzifotis, P Dorlis, NE Mavromatos… - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Chern-Simons gravity rotating Kerr-type black hole solutions are revisited from the point of
