Description

We examine the compatibility of the Einstein minimally coupled self-interacting scalar field theory with the local tests of gravity. We find that apart from the trivial case of the Schwarzschild-de Sitter solution with a constant scalar field the theory does not admit any other static solution, which is consistent with the solar system tests of gravity
