Instability and no-hair paradigm in d-dimensional charged-AdS black holes (2009.09186v2)

Abstract: Is it possible the no-hair paradigm is violated when a black hole undergoes an instability? Employing massless charged scalar perturbations, we address this question within the context of conformally invariant Einstein-Maxwell theory for some allowed $d$-dimensional ($d=4n+4$ with conformal parameter $n=0,1,2,...$ ) topological small AdS black-holes. We provide numerical analyses that show the non trivial scalar hairy black hole solutions to include planar and spherical horizon topologies in higher dimensions with an even conformal parameter $n$. It is also shown that the solutions presented here cannot be considered as scalar hairs for a Reissner-Nordstrom background. As a result, for $d$-dimensional small AdS black holes in the presence of a conformally invariant Maxwell source, the no-scalar hair paradigm seems to be supported.
