Abstract
In a new gravitational theory with the trace anomaly recently proposed by Gabadadze, we study the existence of hairy black hole solutions on a static and spherically symmetric background. In this theory, the effective 4-dimensional action contains a kinetic term of the conformal scalar field related to a new scale M¯ much below the Planck mass. This property can overcome a strong coupling problem known to be present in general relativity supplemented by the trace anomaly as well as in 4-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity. We find a new hairy black hole solution arising from the Gauss-Bonnet trace anomaly, which satisfies regular boundary conditions of the conformal scalar and metric on the horizon. Unlike unstable exact black hole solutions with a divergent derivative of the scalar on the horizon derived for some related theories in the literature, we show that our hairy black hole solution can be consistent with all the linear stability conditions of odd- and even-parity perturbations.
