Phase transition structure of scalarized neutron stars: the effect of rotation and linear coupling

Kalin V. Staykov, Fethi M. Ramazanoğlu, Daniela D. Doneva +1

There has been a recent revival in understanding the spontaneous scalarization phenomenon in scalar-tensor gravity as a phase transition. Using the tools of the Landau theory, we n…

Spontaneous tensorization from curvature coupling and beyond

Fethi M. Ramazanoğlu

We generalize the recently introduced extended scalar-tensor-Gauss-Bonnet (ESTGB) theories and their close relatives to include spontaneous growth of nonscalar fields such as vecto…

Jordan frame beyond scalar-tensor theories

Fethi M. Ramazanoğlu

We study the Jordan frame formulation of generalizations of scalar-tensor theories conceived by replacing the scalar with other fields such as vectors. The generic theory in this f…

Spontaneous growth of gauge fields in gravity through the Higgs mechanism

Fethi M Ramazanoğlu

We introduce gravity theories featuring spontaneously growing gauge fields where the growth is due to the Higgs mechanism. The underlying physics is inspired by the spontaneous sca…

Spontaneous growth of spinor fields in gravity

Fethi M Ramazanoğlu

We show that spinor fields nonminimally coupled to gravity can grow spontaneously in the presence of matter. We name this phenomenon spontaneous spinorization after the spontaneous…

Spontaneous growth of vector fields in gravity

Fethi M. Ramazanoğlu

We show that the spontaneous scalarization scenario in scalar-tensor theories is a specific case of a more general phenomenon. The key fact is that the instability causing the spon…
