Gravitating Non-Abelian Solitons and Black Holes with Yang-Mills Fields
We present a review of gravitating particle-like and black hole solutions with nonAbelian gauge fields. The emphasis is given to the description of the structure of the solutions and to the connection with the results of flat space soliton physics. We describe the Bartnik-McKinnon solitons and the non-Abelian black holes arising in the Einstein-Yang-Mills theory, and consider their various gene...
متن کاملOdd–parity negative modes of Einstein–Yang–Mills black holes and sphalerons
An analytical proof of the existence of negative modes in the odd–parity perturbation sector is given for all known non-Abelian Einstein–Yang–Mills black holes. The significance of the normalizability condition in the functional stability analysis is emphasized. The role of the odd–parity negative modes in the sphaleron interpretation of the Bartnik–McKinnon solutions is discussed. On leave fro...
متن کاملThe Interaction of Dirac Particles with Non-Abelian Gauge Fields and Gravity – Black Holes
We consider a static, spherically symmetric system of a Dirac particle in a classical gravitational and SU(2) Yang-Mills field. We prove that the only black-hole solutions of the corresponding Einstein-Dirac-Yang/Mills equations are the Bartnik-McKinnon black-hole solutions of the SU(2) Einstein-Yang/Mills equations; thus the spinors must vanish identically. This indicates that the Dirac partic...
متن کاملSlowly Rotating Non-Abelian Black Holes
It is shown that the well-known non-Abelian static SU(2) black hole solutions have rotating generalizations, provided that the hypothesis of linearization stability is accepted. Surprisingly, this rotating branch has an asymptotically Abelian gauge field with an electric charge that cannot vanish, although the non-rotating limit is uncharged. We argue that this may be related to our second find...
متن کاملAspects of hairy black holes in spontaneously broken Einstein-Yang-Mills systems: Stability analysis and entropy considerations.
We analyze (3+1)-dimensional black-hole space-times in spontaneously broken Yang-Mills gauge theories that have been recently presented as candidates for an evasion of the scalar-no-hair theorem. Although we show that in principle the conditions for the no-hair theorem do not apply to this case, however we prove that the ‘spirit’ of the theorem is not violated, in the sense that there exist ins...
