Black hole uniqueness theorems dictate that stationary black holes in general relativity can be completely described by only three externally observable classical parameters: mass, charge, and spin.

The analysis

The retrieved literature, specifically papers discussing the black hole uniqueness and no-hair theorems, directly supports the statement that black holes are uniquely characterized by mass, charge, and spin.
