Description

The paper describes studies of black hole uniqueness theorems, and reformulates the problem of the uniqueness of the Kerr-Newman black hole solutions as a problem in the harmonic map theory. The subject is discussed under the topic headings:- the Einstein-Maxwell equations for space-times with one killing vector, black hole boundary conditions, divergence identities for harmonic maps and no hair theorems, and a global identity for nonlinear sigma models and its applications. (U.K.)
