Abstract: (arXiv)
The critical steps leading to the uniqueness theorem for the Kerr-Newman metric are reexamined in the light of the new black hole solutions with Yang-Mills and scalar hair. Various methods -- including scaling techniques, arguments based on energy conditions, conformal transformations and divergence identities -- are reviewed, and their range of application to selfgravitating scalar and non-Abelian gauge fields is discussed. In particular, the no-hair theorem is extended to harmonic mappings with arbitrary Riemannian target manifolds. (This paper is an extended version of an invited lecture held at the Journ\'ees Relativistes 96.)- lectures: Ascona 1996/05/26
