contents We investigate the interplay between the dimension of the space of static potentials and the geometric and topological structure of the underlying static three-manifold. A partial classification of boundaryless static manifolds is obtained in terms of this dimension. We also treat the case of static manifolds with boundary. In particular, we prove that if a compact static manifold with boundary admits a static potential whose zero set is disjoint from the boundary, then the space of static potentials is necessarily one-dimensional. These results rely on a careful analysis of the relative positions of the zero sets of linearly independent static potentials - a technique originally introduced by Miao and Tam.
