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 scalar configuration appears only when a certain quantity that characterizes the compact object, for example, its compactness or spin, is beyond a threshold. A critical and comprehensive review of scalarization, including the mechanism itself, theories that exhibit it, its manifestation in neutron stars, black holes and their binaries, potential extension to other fields, and a thorough discussion of future perspectives, is provided.

  1. Underlying mechanisms of phase transitions in scalar-tensor theories

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 8.0 of 10

    Landau coefficients for scalarization phase transitions are calculated from first principles via reduction of the theory's energy functional to an effective energy function.

  2. Black holes and neutron stars in massive Hellings-Nordtvedt theory

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    In massive Hellings-Nordtvedt theory, a nonzero vector vacuum asymptotically forbids both curvature-vector couplings at once, and the A²R sector yields Schwarzschild-like black holes plus neutron stars that can deviat...

  3. Scalar memory from compact binary coalescences

    gr-qc 2026-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In Ricci-coupled scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, the change in scalar charge during binary black hole mergers generates a scalar memory contribution that modifies the total memory signal on observable timescales.

  4. Numerical study on the robustness of the stability for stable black holes

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Infinitesimal negative or stochastic near-horizon deformations of the Regge-Wheeler potential can destabilize an otherwise stable Schwarzschild black hole in a toy scalar-field model.

  5. Signatures from metastable oppositely-charged black hole binaries in scalar Gauss-Bonnet gravity

    gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In scalar Gauss-Bonnet gravity, inspiraling black holes with opposite scalar charges can undergo a sudden charge-flip, changing scalar radiation from dipolar to quadrupolar and inducing orbital eccentricity.

  6. High-accuracy drivers to simulate black hole binaries beyond general relativity with the fixing-the-equations approach

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Comoving tensor-aware driver equations in SpECTRE yield ~40-cycle sGB binary waveforms with O(1) rad phase error and eccentricity ≲10^{-3}, free of spurious spin growth.

  7. Rotating Fermion-Boson Stars in $R$-squared Gravity

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    R-squared gravity enlarges the equilibrium domain of rotating fermion-boson stars and raises static and Keplerian maximum masses relative to GR while remaining compatible with current compact-object constraints.

  8. Curvature-induced scalarization of charged AdS black holes

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The Breitenlohner-Freedman bound restricts Gauss-Bonnet scalarization of RN-AdS black holes to a single fundamental branch for 0<η<2.25, with a separate single branch for η<0.

  9. Hydrodynamic properties in soliton field theory

    hep-th 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Soliton formation in complex scalar field theory is framed as sound-mode-induced phase separation, and cylindrical Q-strings are shown to suffer a Rayleigh-Plateau membrane instability that breaks them into spheres.

  10. Supermassive black hole scalarization and effective field theory

    gr-qc 2025-06 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    A canonical two-scalar EFT cannot naturally produce supermassive-only black hole scalarization, because the generated G^2 term has the wrong sign and is suppressed.

  11. Scalarization of Bardeen spacetime

    gr-qc 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    For scalarization of the full Bardeen spacetime, small magnetic charges give the usual smooth scalarization threshold, while large charges end in a 'frozen' horizonless scalarized state rather than a Bardeen black hole.

  12. Thermodynamics of four-dimensional regular black holes with an infinite tower of regularized curvature corrections

    gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Planar regular black holes from an infinite tower of higher-curvature corrections are thermodynamically indistinguishable from singular GR black holes, while spherical horizons may lift this degeneracy.

  13. Science of the LISA mission: A Summary for the European Strategy for Particle Physics

    gr-qc 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 1.0 of 10

    Four LISA science objectives are summarized for the European particle physics strategy, covering gravity tests, standard sirens, and TeV-scale stochastic gravitational wave backgrounds.
