We consider static, nonabelian solutions in N = 4, D = 5 Romans’ gauged supergravity model. Numerical arguments are presented for the existence of asymptotically anti-de Sitter configurations in the N = 4 version of the theory, with a dilaton potential presenting a stationary point. Considering the version of the theory with a Liouville dilaton potential, we look for configurations with unusual...
