Static Cosmological Solutions of the Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs Equations

Abstract

Numerical evidence is presented for the existence of a new family of static, globally regular `cosmological' solutions of the spherically symmetric Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs equations. These solutions are characterized by two natural numbers ($m\geq 1$, $n\geq 0$), the number of nodes of the Yang-Mills and Higgs field respectively. The corresponding spacetimes are static with spatially compact sections with 3-sphere topology.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures, LaTe
