Final state of instabilities in Born-Infeld black holes

We study two types of linear instabilities in Einstein-Born-Infeld-scalar field theory and show that small Born-Infeld (BI) black holes suffer from superradiant instability within a particular range of frequencies; the larger the BI coupling parameter, the slower the growth rate of the instability. It is predicted that a small BI black hole decays into a small hairy black hole that has a charged scalar condensate floating near the horizon. We numerically show that there is a phase transition between hairy and BI black holes. The metric solution shows the existence of a hairy black hole for $T T_{c}$. In addition, the BI black hole will suffer from tachyonic mass, resulting in a near horizon scalar condensation instability, which is related to a planar hairy black hole. We show that the BI coupling parameter has a direct relation to the critical temperature in the small hairy black hole framework. This is not true for planar hairy black holes where a larger BI coupling parameter leads to a smaller critical temperature. Finally, it is shown that a small hairy black hole is stable at the critical temperature so it can be considered as the end point of superradiant instability.

Superradiant instability and asymptotically AdS hairy black holes in $F(R)$-charged scalar field theory

We study the phenomena of superradiance for $F(R)$-Maxwell black holes in an AdS space-time. The AdS boundary plays the role of a mirror and provides a natural confining system that makes the superradiant waves bouncing back and forth between the region near the horizon and the reflective boundary, causing a possible superradiant instability. We obtain numerical solutions for static hairy black holes in this scenario and investigate their instability and explicitly address the stability of such solutions for spherical perturbations under specific conditions for the scalar charge and AdS radius. It is shown that for a small scalar charge or AdS radius the static hairy solution is stable under spherical perturbations. We conclude that under such conditions, new hairy black holes emerge as a possible endpoint of superradiant instability of the system.

Thermal phase transition in $F(R)$-charged $AdS_{4}$-scalar theory

We investigate instabilities of $F(R)$-charged $AdS_{4}$ black holes by a massive charged scalar field in a linear perturbation regime. We study tachyonic instabilities as the near horizon scalar condensation in a model of $F(R)$ gravity with planar horizon and investigate properties of possible phase transitions. The results show that such transitions are sensitive to the first derivative of $F(R)$ with respect to $R$ in that the larger its value, the higher the critical temperature, thus resulting in a new generation of high-temperature superconductors. Also, for a certain range of parameters, $F(R)$-charged $AdS_{4}$ black holes suffer from superradiant instability. We consider the effects of the scalar mass and charge on such instabilities and conclude that RN black holes decay into small hairy black holes that have a charged scalar condensate floating near the horizon. It is shown that the existence of phase transition at the critical temperature leading to a hairy black hole solution emerges for $T T_{c}$. The effect of $F(R)$ on the critical temperature is subsequently investigated in the case of superradiant instability, showing that higher critical temperatures would be possible in $F(R)$ gravity. We also check the stability of hairy black holes and show that the resulting hairy solution can be considered as a possible end point of superradiant instability of a small charged black hole.

Symmetron with a non-minimal kinetic term

We investigate the compatibility of the Symmetron with dark energy by introducing a non-minimal kinetic term associated with the Symmetron. In this new model, the effect of the friction term appearing in the equation of motion of the Symmetron field becomes more pronounced due to the non-minimal kinetic term appearing in the action and, under specific conditions after symmetry breaking, the universe experiences an accelerating phase which, in spite of the large effective mass of the scalar field, lasts as long as the Hubble time $H_{0}$.

Symmetry breaking and the onset of cosmic acceleration in scalar field models

We propose a new scenario for the onset of positive acceleration of our Universe based on symmetry breaking in coupled dark energy scalar field model. In a symmetry breaking process where the scalar field rolls down its own potential, the potential reduction is not in favor of acceleration. In our model, when dark matter density becomes less than a critical value, the shape of the effective potential is changed and, the quintessence field climbs up along {\it{its own potential}} while rolls down the effective potential. We show that this procedure may establish the positivity of the potential required for the Universe to accelerate. In addition, we show that by choosing an appropriate interaction between dark sectors there is the possibility that the scalar field resides in a new vacuum giving rise to a positive cosmological constant which is responsible for a permanent late time acceleration.

Thawing in a coupled quintessence model

We consider the thawing model in the framework of coupled quintessence model. The effective potential has $Z_2$ symmetry which is broken spontaneously when the dark matter density becomes less than a critical value leading the quintessence equation of state parameter to deviate from -1. Conditions required for this procedure are obtained and analytical solution for the equation of state parameter is derived.

Thermodynamics second law and $ω=-1$ crossing(s) in interacting holographic dark energy model

By the assumption that the thermodynamics second law is valid, we study the possibility of $ω=-1$ crossing in interacting holographic dark energy model. Depending on the choice of the horizon and the interaction, the transition from quintessence to phantom regime and subsequently from phantom to quintessence phase may be possible. The second transition avoids the big rip singularity. We compute the dark energy density at transition time and show that by choosing appropriate parameters we can alleviate the coincidence problem.
