Abstract
Scalarization is a mechanism that endows strongly self-gravitating bodies, such as neutron stars and black holes, with a scalar-field configuration. It resembles a phase transition in that the scalar configuration appears only when a certain quantity that characterizes the compact object, for example, its compactness or spin, is beyond a threshold. A critical and comprehensive review of scalarization, including the mechanism itself, theories that exhibit it, its manifestation in neutron stars, black holes and their binaries, potential extension to other fields, and a thorough discussion of future perspectives, is provided.
期刊介绍：
Reviews of Modern Physics (RMP) stands as the world's foremost physics review journal and is the most extensively cited publication within the Physical Review collection. Authored by leading international researchers, RMP's comprehensive essays offer exceptional coverage of a topic, providing context and background for contemporary research trends. Since 1929, RMP has served as an unparalleled platform for authoritative review papers across all physics domains. The journal publishes two types of essays: Reviews and Colloquia. Review articles deliver the present state of a given topic, including historical context, a critical synthesis of research progress, and a summary of potential future developments.
