Novel Observable Signals from First-Order Gravitational Phase Transitions
Murat Ãzinan, Murat Özinan, OÄuzhan K. Yamak +3
Spontaneous scalarization is a well-known phenomenon in scalar-tensor theories, featuring large deviations from general relativity. However, some of its signatures are hard to dete…

Nature of phase transitions and metastability in scalar-tensor theories
Kıvanç Ä°. Ãnlütürk, Semih Tuna, OÄuzhan K. Yamak +1
Compact stars above a critical stellar mass develop large scalar fields in some scalar-tensor theories. This scenario, called spontaneous scalarization, has been an intense topic o…
