Spherical Black Holes cannot Support Scalar Hair
read the original abstract
The static spherically symmetric ``black hole solution" of the Einstein - conformally invariant massless scalar field equations known as the BBMB ( Bocharova, , Bronikov, Melinkov, Bekenstein) black hole is critically examined. It is shown that the stress energy tensor is ill-defined at the horizon, and that its evaluation through suitable regularization yields ambiguous results. Consequently, the configuration fails to represent a genuine black hole solution. With the removal of this solution as a counterexample to the no hair conjecture, we argue that the following appears to be true: Spherical black holes cannot carry any kind of classical scalar hair.

(Super-)renormalizable hairy meronic black holes
Analytical black hole solutions are constructed in Einstein-Maxwell-Yang-Mills theory with conformally coupled scalars, generalizing MTZ and AC solutions by including non-Abelian gauge fields determined by horizon curvature.
