The most general action for a scalar field coupled to gravity that leads to second-order field equations for both the metric and the scalar--Horndeski's theory--is considered, with the extra assumption that the scalar satisfies shift symmetry. We show that in such theories, the scalar field is forced to have a nontrivial configuration in black hole spacetimes, unless one carefully tunes away a linear coupling with the Gauss-Bonnet invariant. Hence, black holes for generic theories in this class will have hair. This contradicts a recent no-hair theorem which seems to have overlooked the presence of this coupling.
考虑了与引力耦合的标量场的最一般作用,这导致了度规和标量的二阶场方程——霍恩德斯基理论——并且额外假设标量满足平移对称性。我们表明,在这种理论中,除非仔细调谐与 Gauss-Bonnet 不变量的线性耦合,否则标量场将被迫在黑洞时空中具有非平凡的配置。因此,对于此类通用理论中的黑洞将具有毛发。这与最近的无毛定理相矛盾,后者似乎忽略了这种耦合的存在。
