Compact object scalarization with general relativity as a cosmic attractor
Georgios Antoniou, Lorenzo Bordin, Thomas P. Sotiriou
Abstract
We demonstrate that there are theories that exhibit spontaneous scalarization in the strong gravity regime while having general relativity with a constant scalar as a cosmological attractor. We identify the minimal model that has this property and discuss its extensions.
