I will address the celebrated and long standing “No-Hair” conjecture that aims for
the classification of stationary, regular, electro-vacuum black hole space-times.
Besides reviewing some of the necessary concepts from general relativity I will
focus on the analysis of the singular harmonic map to which the source free Einstein-Maxwell
equations reduce in the stationary and axisymmetric case.
