Lower bound on the proper lengths of stationary bound-state charged massive scalar clouds

It has recently been revealed that charged scalar clouds, spatially regular matter configurations which are made of linearized charged massive scalar fields, can be supported by spinning and charged Kerr-Newman black holes. Using analytical techniques, we establish a no-short hair theorem for these stationary bound-state field configurations. In particular, we prove that the effective proper lengths of the supported charged massive scalar clouds are bounded from below by the remarkably compact dimensionless relation /M> (3+8), where M is the mass of the central supporting black hole. Intriguingly, this lower bound is universal in the sense that it is valid for all Kerr-Newman black-hole spacetimes that is, in the entire regime \a/M (0, 1, Q/M0, 1) \ of the dimensionless spin and charge parameters that characterize the central supporting black holes and for all values of the physical parameters (electric charge q, proper mass μ, and angular harmonic indexes \l, m\) that characterize the supported stationary bound-state scalar fields.
