Instability of hairy black holes in shift-symmetric Horndeski theories

arXiv:1510.07400 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.93.064078

Abstract

Recently it was pointed out that in shift-symmetric scalar-tensor theories a black hole can have nontrivial scalar hair which depends linearly on time. We develop black hole perturbation theory for such solutions and compute the quadratic action of odd-parity perturbations. We show that around all the solutions known so far with such time-dependent scalar hair the perturbations trigger instabilities or are presumably strongly coupled.
