Abstract: We study the properties of possible static, spherically symmetric configurations in k-essence theories with the Lagrangian functions of the form F(X), Xequivphi,alphaphi,alpha. A no-go theorem has been proved, claiming that a possible black-hole-like Killing horizon of finite radius cannot exist if the function F(X) is required to have a finite derivative dF/dX. Two exact solutions are obtained for special cases of k-essence: one for F(X)=F0X1/3, another for F(X)=F0|X|1/22Lambda, where F0 and Lambda are constants. Both solutions contain horizons, are not asymptotically flat, and provide illustrations for the obtained no-go theorem. The first solution may be interpreted as describing a black hole in an asymptotically singular space-time, while in the second solution two horizons of infinite area are connected by a wormhole.
