On the Equivalence of Brans-Dicke and Einstein Theories with Static Black Holes
A `no-hair' theorem for the Brans-Dicke field, in the domain of outer communications of a static black hole, is established, when the trace of the energy-momentum tensor, T, is a definite-sign scalar. This implies that Brans-Dicke theory of gravitation, for matter with T of definite sign, is equivalent to Einstein gravity with the constraint T=0.
