Stationary Dirac condensates around Kerr black holes

Ultralight bosonic fields can form macroscopic clouds around rotating black holes, whereas the existence of analogous stationary fermionic condensates is strictly constrained by their intrinsic spin. Here we establish a complete geometric and kinematic framework to resolve the stationary bound states of massive Dirac fields on Kerr and Kerr-Newman backgrounds. By mapping the Kerr-Dirac system to a globally integrated sourced radial problem, we strictly isolate the boundary constraints dictated by horizon causality. The angular sector reveals a fundamental topological distinction: because the azimuthal quantum number is strictly half-integer, the regular boundary branches prevent the local field density from vanishing on the rotation axis. Consequently, rotating fermionic clouds inherently form globally filled, oblate geometries, in stark contrast to the hollow toroidal structures characteristic of scalar condensates. Crucially, our radial indicial analysis unveils the exact mathematical origin of the absence of synchronized Dirac hair. Precisely at the kinematic synchronization locus, the Frobenius matrix of the Dirac operator is non-defective and entirely devoid of logarithmic divergences. Without these singular branches to be selectively excised by boundary regularity, the physical burden of existence falls entirely onto the causal flux barrier, which strictly trivializes the zero-source amplitude. This synchronization veto demonstrates that a black hole's capacity to support macroscopic stationary fields is governed not merely by superradiant kinematics, but by the profound interplay between local horizon causality and quantum spin statistics.

Gravitational waveforms from periodic orbits around Gauss-Bonnet black holes

Extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) constitute one of the most promising probes of strong field gravity for future space borne gravitational-wave observatories. As a representative higher-curvature extension of General Relativity (GR), four-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (4D EGB) gravity is distinguished by its strictly linear geometric coupling. By this mathematical property, the pathological Fisher-matrix singularities that typically plague conventional modified black hole models are effectively evaded, thereby providing an ideal framework to test topological deviations from classical spacetimes. Through the classification of equatorial periodic orbits via an integer taxonomy $(z,w,v)$, it is demonstrated that even modest Gauss-Bonnet couplings ($\alpha \sim 0.1M^2$) imprint measurable geometric signatures onto the zoom-whirl architecture. Although the global conservative energy budget is shifted by a mere $\sim 0.2\%$, the short-range repulsive EGB core severely alters the strong field whirl dynamics, whereby a resolvable macroscopic dephasing of several radians per orbit is accumulated. Through semi-relativistic waveform modeling, it is revealed that this temporal compression manifests as a rigid, high-frequency stretching of the gravitational-wave harmonic comb -- a clean, amplitude-independent spectral signature ideally suited for detection by LISA, Taiji, and TianQin. A rigorous Fisher information analysis confirms that for a typical four-year observation at a signal-to-noise ratio of $\rho=20$, the marginalized error on the EGB coupling can be tightly bounded to $\sigma_\alpha \sim \mathcal{O}(10^{-6}) M^2$, with virtually negligible parameter degeneracy with the orbital eccentricity.
