Uniqueness of static spacetimes with marginally outer trapped surfaces

Marginally outer trapped surfaces (MOTS) are routinely used as quasi-local replacements for black holes and it is expected that MOTS and event horizons should coincide in stationary and static spacetimes. In this short notice we present a uniqueness theorem of static spacetimes containing MOTS.
