In the brane-world framework, we consider static, spherically symmetric configurations of a scalar field with the Lagrangian $(\d\phi)^2/2 - V(\phi)$, confined on the brane. We use the 4D Einstein equations on the brane obtained by Shiromizu et al., containing the usual stress tensor $T\mN$, the tensor $\Pi\mN$, quadratic in $T\mN$, and $E\mN$ describing interaction with the bulk. For models under study, the tensor $\Pi\mN$ has zero divergence, so we can consider a "minimally coupled" brane with $E\mN = 0$, whose 4D gravity is decoupled from the bulk geometry. Assuming $E\mN =0$, we try to extend to brane worlds some theorems valid for scalar fields in general relativity (GR). Thus, the list of possible global causal structures in all models under consideration is shown to be the same as is known for vacuum with a $Lambda$ term in GR: Minkowski, Schwarzschild, (A)dS and Schwarzschild-(A)dS. A no-hair theorem, saying that, given a potential $V\geq 0$, asymptotically flat black holes cannot have nontrivial external scalar fields, is proved under certain restrictions. Some objects, forbidden in GR, are allowed on the brane, e.g, traversable wormholes supported by a scalar field, but only at the expense of enormous matter densities in the strong field region.
