The behaviour of low mass scalar fields around black holes is of great interest in the context of dark matter models consisting of a massive scalar field (such as the axion) and the new era of gravitational wave astronomy. I will discuss three related projects concerning the accretion of minimally coupled low mass scalar fields around black holes: the growth of accretion driven scalar hair around Kerr black holes (https://arxiv.org/abs/2011.
