Linear stability of black holes with static scalar hair in full Horndeski theories: Generic instabilities and surviving models

Linear stability of black holes with static scalar hair in full Horndeski theories: Generic instabilities and surviving models

In full Horndeski theories, we show that the static and spherically symmetric black hole (BH) solutions with a static scalar field $\ensuremath{\phi}$ whose kinetic term $X$ is nonvanishing on the BH horizon are generically prone to ghost/Laplacian instabilities. We then search for asymptotically Minkowski hairy BH solutions with a vanishing …
