Scalar fields in multidimensional gravity. No-hair and other no-go theorems (Q1874707): Difference between revisions

Global properties of static, spherically symmetric configurations with scalar fields of sigma-model type with arbitrary potentials are studied in \(D\) dimensions, including models where the space-time contains multiple internal factor spaces. The authors discuss the properties of self-gravitating \(\sigma\)-models with the Lagrangian \(L_{sc}=H_{KL}(\vec\varphi)(\partial\varphi^K,\partial\varphi^L)-2 V(\vec\varphi)\) in space-times with the metric \(ds^2=e^{2\gamma}dt^2-e^{2\alpha}du^2-e^{2\beta}d\Omega_{d_0}^2\), where \(\alpha,\beta,\gamma\) are functions of the radial coordinate \(u\) and \(d\Omega_{d_0}^2\) is the linear element on the sphere \(S^{d_0}\) of unit radius. The no-hair theorem of the nonexistence, in the case \(V\geq 0\), of asymptotically flat black holes with varying scalar fields or moduli fields outside the event horizon for these systems is proved. Then the authors show that particlelike solutions of any mass cannot be obtained in a field model with a nonnegative potential \(V(\vec\varphi)\) and this result strengthens the generalized Rosen theorem known in general relativity. They also prove the nonexistence of wormhole solutions under very general conditions.
