Hello.
In chapter 3 (Quantum Black Holes) of this book... https://www.amazon.com/dp/069116844X/?tag=pfamazon01-20 ...Stephen Hawking writes...
"The no-hair theorem, proved by the combined work of Israel, Carter, Robinson and myself, shows that the only stationary black holes in the absence of matter fields are the Kerr solutions. These are characterized by two parameters, the mass M and the angular momentum J. The no-hair theorem was extended by Robinson to the case where there was an electromagnetic field. This added a third parameter Q, the electric charge."
My questions concern what Hawking meant by the words, '...proved by the combined work of..'
Is there a single paper where these four scientists worked together to offer up said proof?
If so, could I please be directed to it?
Or, is there somewhere that I can find the proof 'combined' from the work of these four?
Any help given at a Basic level would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Cerenkov.
