No hair for spherically symmetric neutral reflecting stars: nonminimally coupled massive scalar fields

Abstract

Recent no-hair theorems have revealed the intriguing fact that horizonless stars with compact reflecting surfaces {\it cannot} support non-linear matter configurations made of scalar, vector, and tensor fields. In the present paper we extend the regime of validity of these no-hair theorems by explicitly proving that spherically symmetric compact reflecting stars cannot support static configurations made of {\it massive} scalar fields with {\it non}-minimal coupling to gravity. Interestingly, our no-hair theorem is valid for {\it generic} values of the dimensionless field-curvature coupling parameter .
