Abstract: In this article we study self-gravitating static solutions of the Einstein-ScalarField system in arbitrary dimensions. We discuss the existence and the non-existence of geodesically complete solutions depending on the form of the scalar field potential $V(phi)$, and provide full global geometric estimates when the solutions exist. Our main results are summarised as follows. For the Klein-Gordon field, namely when $V(phi)=m^2|phi{|}^2$, it is proved that geodesically complete solutions have Ricci-flat spatial metric, have constant lapse and are vacuum, (that is $phi$ is constant and equal to zero if $meq0$). In particular, when the spatial dimension is three, the only such solutions are either Minkowski or a quotient thereof (no nontrivial solutions exist). When $V(phi)=m^2|phi{|}^2+2Lambda$, that is, when a vacuum energy or a cosmological constant is included, it is proved that no geodesically complete solution exists when $Lambda>0$, whereas when $Lambda<0$ it is proved that no non-vacuum geodesically complete solution exists unless $m^2<-2Lambda/(n-1)$, ($n$ is the spatial dimension) and the spatial manifold is non-compact. The proofs are based on techniques in comparison geometry 'a la Backry-Emery.
