Abstract
Although it is considered physically evident, a rigorous proof that a static stellar model is spherically symmetric is still lacking. The author discusses the relevance of the positive-mass theorem in proving the spherical symmetry of a static stellar model. As an example the author proves the uniqueness of a particular static perfect fluid solution due to Wyman (1930) using the positive-mass theorem.
