Spinning boson stars and hairy black holes with nonminimal coupling

    We obtain spinning boson star solutions and hairy black holes with synchronized hair in the Einstein–Klein–Gordon model, wherein the scalar field is massive, complex and with a nonminimal coupling to the Ricci scalar. The existence of these hairy black holes in this model provides yet another manifestation of the universality of the synchronization mechanism to endow spinning black holes with hair. We study the variation of the physical properties of the boson stars and hairy black holes with the coupling parameter between the scalar field and the curvature, showing that they are, qualitatively, identical to those in the minimally coupled case. By discussing the conformal transformation to the Einstein frame, we argue that the solutions herein provide new rotating boson star and hairy black hole solutions in the minimally coupled theory, with a particular potential, and that no spherically symmetric hairy black hole solutions exist in the nonminimally coupled theory, under a condition of conformal regularity.

    Michelson–Morley Experiments

    "Starting with a fascinating, well-researched history of the notion of ether and attempts to detect its influence, the authors detail the Michelson-Morley experimental results before transitioning into a discussion of more recent ether-drift measurements."
