| 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. | |||
