Abstract

We study gravitating monopoles and non-Abelian black holes of SU(2) Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs theory coupled to a massless dilaton. The domain of existence of these solutions is bounded and decreases with increasing dilaton coupling strength. The critical solutions of this system are Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton solutions.

  16. The equations of motion are invariant under a shift ψψ+ψ0, together with a rescaling xxeγψ0. Therefore solutions regular at infinity can always be chosen to satisfy ψ()=0.
  17. For larger values of β, the non-Abelian monopole solutions do not bifurcate with a branch of Abelian solutions at αcr. Instead the critical solution is essentially non-Abelian [3].
  18. Similarly, Einstein-Yang-Mills-dilaton solutions tend to an Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton solution (in the limit of a large node number) [13], while Einstein-Yang-Mills solutions tend to an Einstein-Maxwell (RN) solution.
  19. For instance, for α=1 we find γmax(α=1)=0.9872, which is very close to αmax(γ=1)=0.9882.

  21. For γ=0.5, the determination of αmax becomes numerically unreliable for β>6; for γ=1, the analysis becomes problematic already for β=3.
  22. With increasing β, the dilaton function ψ(x) develops a minimum close to the origin, with strongly increasing curvature.
  23. We expect that for γ1.4088, the maximal value of γ for which regular solutions of the YMHD theory exist, the domain of existence shrinks to zero size.
