In this paper, we look for the vacuum static spherically symmetric solution in the mimetic gravity scenario based on the conformal invariance principle. The trivial solution is a stealth Schwarzschild black hole with scalar hair where the mimetic field does not contribute to the background. However, a solution with two naked singularities shows up when the mimetic scalar field contributes to the background. We show that one of these singularities is the same as the singularity at the center of standard Schwarzschild black hole while the other appears due to caustics formation. However, we construct the mimetic black hole solution by gluing the exterior static spherically symmetric solution to a time-dependent anisotropic spacetime describing the interior of the black hole. It is shown that these two solutions match continuously on the surface of the apparent horizon. Some physical properties of the corresponding mimetic black holes are discussed.

  1. Fragility of stealth solutions in mimetic gravity

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Stealth solutions in mimetic gravity decouple from background dynamics on the lambda=0 branch but impose an infinite hierarchy of constraints on perturbations, rendering the screening limit non-uniform and pathological.

  2. Gravitational wave constraints on the Paneitz operator

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    The Paneitz operator in 4D belongs to extended mimetic gravity and is constrained by gravitational wave propagation speed.

  3. Imperfect dark matter with higher derivatives

    gr-qc 2022-05 conditional novelty 5.0

    EHT observations of Sgr A* constrain deviations from GR black hole solutions including regular BHs, string-inspired spacetimes, and BH mimickers, with some limits exceeding cosmological bounds.
