Published: June 2013

We consider a Galileon field coupled to gravity. The standard no-hair theorems do not apply because of the Galileon's peculiar derivative interactions. We prove that, nonetheless, static spherically symmetric black holes cannot sustain nontrivial Galileon profiles. Our theorem holds for trivial boundary conditions and for cosmological ones, and regardless of whether there are nonminimal couplings between the Galileon and gravity of the covariant Galileon type.
