Abstract

In the present paper we prove a uniqueness theorem for the static and asymptotically flat solutions to the Einstein-scalar field equations which possess a photon sphere. We show that such solutions are uniquely specified by their mass MM and scalar charge qq and that they are isometric to the Janis-Newman-Winicour solution with the same mass and scalar charge subject to the inequality q2M2<3\frac{q^2}{M^2}<3.
