No hair for spherically symmetric neutral black holes: nonminimally coupled massive scalar fields

Abstract

It is proved that spherically symmetric asymptotically flat neutral black holes cannot support spatially regular static configurations made of massive scalar fields with non-minimal coupling to gravity. Interestingly, our compact no-hair theorem is valid for generic values of the dimensionless physical parameter which quantifies the strength of coupling between the scalar field and the spacetime curvature.
