On perfect fluids and black holes in static equilibrium

Proofs of spherical symmetry of static black holes and of spherical symmetry of static perfect fluids normally require, a priori, "black holes only" or "fluid only". In a recent paper Shiromizu, Yamada and Yoshino [1] admit a priori (and exclude) coexistence of fluids and holes. This work assumes connectedness of the fluid region and the same assumptions on the equation of state as earlier papers on the "fluid only" case, and requires in addition an upper bound for the fluid mass in terms of the black holes masses. We discuss this paper. As a new result we show that there cannot exist static fluid shells (i.e. fluid regions of the topology of an annulus) even if one a priori admits, inside and outside the shell, any arrangement of black holes or additional matter which satisfies the energy condition.
