Higher dimensional Reissner-Nordstrom black holes supporting static scalar shells

We analytically study scalarization of higher-dimensional charged Reissner-Nordstrom (RN) black hole. It is shown that static massive scalar field which is non-minimally coupled to Gauss-Bonnet invariant can be supported by higher-dimensional black hole in super-critical charge regime Q/M > C (sic)(d) with Q, M charge and mass of the black hole and C(sic)(d) some unitless spacetime dimension-dependent quantity. Moreover, we show that the static massive scalar shell can be quite thin in the large mass regime mu M1/d-3 & raquo; 1 with mu mass of the scalar field. (c) 2022 The Author(s).
