Spontaneous Scalarization of Rotating Ellis Wormholes — •Xiao Yan Chew, Burkhard Kleihaus, and Jutta Kunz — Institut of Physics, University of Oldenburg, Carl-von-Ossietzky-Straße 9-11, 26129 Oldenburg

Scalar--tensor theory is one of the alternative theories of gravity. We consider the spinning generalization of the Ellis wormhole in this theory. Similar to other compact objects such as neutron stars and boson stars, these spinning wormholes also exhibit the phenomenon of spontaneous scalarization. The domain of existence of these scalarized wormholes is determined and their properties are investigated.
