The latter are assumed to be Einstein spaces, not necessarily Ricci-flat, and the potential $V$ includes contributions from their curvatures. The following results generalize those known in four dimensions: (A) a no-hair theorem: in case $V\\geq 0$, an asymptotically flat black hole cannot have varying scalar fields or moduli fields outside the event horizon; (B) nonexistence of particlelike solutions in models with $V\\geq 0$; (C) nonexistence of wormholes under very general conditions; (D) a restriction on possible global causal structures (represented by Carter-Penrose diagrams). The list of structures in all models under consideration is the same as is known for vacuum with a cosmological constant in general relativity: Minkowski (or AdS), Schwarzschild, de Sitter and Schwarzschild--de Sitter, and horizons which bound a static region are always simple. The results are applicable to a wide range of Kaluza-Klein, supergravity and stringy models with multiple dilaton and moduli fields.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-12-15T17:44:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "scalar fields", "multidimensional gravity", "no-go theorems", "containing multiple internal factor spaces", "space-times containing multiple internal factor" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1023/A:1022952314050", "journal": "General Relativity and Gravitation", "year": 2003, "month": "Apr", "volume": 35, "number": 4, "pages": 505 }, "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 604651, "adsabs": "2003GReGr..35..505B" } } }
