Eluding the No - Hair Conjecture for Black Holes ∗
نویسنده
چکیده
I discuss a recent analytic proof of bypassing the no-hair conjecture for two interesting (and quite generic) cases of four-dimensional black holes: (i) black holes in Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs (EYMH) systems and (ii) black holes in higher-curvature (Gauss-Bonnet (GB) type) string-inspired gravity. Both systems are known to possess black-hole solutions with non-trivial scalar hair outside the horizon. The 'spirit' of the no-hair conjecture, however, seems to be maintained either because the black holes are unstable (EYMH), or because the hair is of secondary type (GB), i.e. it does not lead to new conserved quantum numbers.

Eluding the no-hair conjecture: Black holes in spontaneously broken gauge theories.
We study regular and black hole solutions to the coupled classical Einstein–Yang-Mills– Higgs system. It has long been thought that black hole solutions in the spontaneously broken phase of such a theory could have no nontrivial field structure outside of the horizon. We first show that the standard black hole no-hair theorem underlying this belief, although true in the abelian setting, does no...

Recently there has been a considerable resurgence in the no scalar hair theorem for black holes. Investigations regarding no hair theorem, however, had started about thirty years ago [1]. Inspired by Israel’s uniqueness theorem for Schwarzschild and Reissner–Nordstrom black holes [2] and Carter [3] and Wald’s [4] uniqueness theorem for Kerr black holes, Wheeler anticipated that gravitational co...
متن کاملTowards a Novel no-hair Theorem for Black Holes
We provide strong numerical evidence for a new no-scalar-hair theorem for black holes in general relativity, which rules out spherical scalar hair of static four dimensional black holes if the scalar field theory, when coupled to gravity, satisfies the Positive Energy Theorem. This sheds light on the no-scalar-hair conjecture for Calabi-Yau compactifications of string theory, where the effectiv...

Originally regarded as forbidden, black hole \hair" are elds associated with a stationary black hole apart from the gravitational and electromagnetic ones. Several stable stationary black hole solutions with gauge or Skyrme eld hair are known today within general relativity. We formulate here a \no scalar{ hair" conjecture, and adduce some new theorems that almost establish it by ruling out-for...

Originally regarded as forbidden, black hole “hair” are fields associated with a stationary black hole apart from the gravitational and electromagnetic ones. Several stable stationary black hole solutions with gauge or Skyrme field hair are known today within general relativity. We formulate here a “no scalar– hair” conjecture, and adduce some new theorems that almost establish it by ruling out...
