The uniqueness of the Einstein-Yang-Mills equations

The most general gauge-invariant Lagrange density (concomitant of the metric tensor together with the gauge potentials of a gauge and its first derivatives) for which the associated Euler-Lagrange equations are precisely Yang-Mills equations is obtained. It is more general than the Lagrangian which is commonly used, but it still has essentially the same energy momentum tensor.     

Static spherically symmetric solutions of the Einstein-Yang-Mills equations

We study the global behaviour of static, spherically symmetric solutions of the Einstein-Yang-Mills equations with gauge groupSU(2). Our analysis results in three disjoint classes of solutions with a regular origin or a horizon. The 3-spaces (t=const.) of the first, generic class are compact and singular. The second class consists of an infinite family of globally regular, resp. black hole solutions. The third type is an oscillating solution, which although regular is not asymptotically flat.This article was processed by the author using the Springer-Verlag TEX CoMaPhy macro package 1991.     

On the Einstein-Yang-Mills field equations in a plane symmetric universe

Recently Mondaini has discussed the Einstein-Yang-Mills field equations reduced into another form under the consideration of the line-element in Taub's form for the plane symmetric space-time and the Ansatz first proposed by Treat and rediscovered by Oh and Teh and has obtained some particular results. In the present paper the complete set of solutions has been obtained.     

Nontrivial solutions of the Einstein-Yang-Mills equations for a system of massive monopoles

Nontrivial solutions are obtained for the Einstein-Yang-Mills equations, as applied to a system of N slowly moving massive monopoles with a linear accuracy relative to the interaction constant.Astrophysics Institute, Kazakh Academy of Sciences.

On solutions of Einstein and Einstein-Yang-Mills equations with (maximal) conformal subsymmetries

We consider the maximal subgroups of the conformai group (which have in common as a subgroup the group of pure spatial rotations) as isometry groups of conformally flat spacetimes. We identify the corresponding cosmological solutions of Einstein's field equations. For each of them, we investigate the possibility that it could be generated by anSU (2) Yang-Mills field built, via the Corrigan-Fairlie-'t Hooft-Wilczek ansatz, from a scalar field identical with the square root of the conformal factor defining the space-time metric tensor. In particular, the Einstein cosmological model can be generated in this manner, but in the framework of strong gravity only, a micro-Einstein universe being then viewed as a possible model for a hadron.Boursier A.G.C.D.     

The structure of the space of solutions of Einstein's equations II: several Killing fields and the Einstein-Yang-Mills equations

The space of solutions of Einstein's vacuum equations is shown to have conical singularities at each spacetime possessing a compact Cauchy surface of constant mean curvature and a nontrivial set of Killing fields. Similar results are shown for the coupled Einstein-Yang-Mills system. Combined with an appropriate slice theorem, the results show that the space of geometrically equivalent solutions is a stratified manifold with each stratum being a symplectic manifold characterized by the symmetry type of its members.     

The Quantum Cosmology of Einstein-Yang-Mills Theory in Eight-Dimensions

In this paper,the quantum cosmology of Einstein-Yang-Mills has been studied.The Hartle-Hawking proposal for the boundary conditions of the Universe is extended to Eight-dimensional Einstein-Yang-Mills theory.A minisuperspace wave function is calculated in the classical limit corresponding to a superposition of classical solutions in which four of the dimensions remain small while the other four behave like an inflationary Universe.     

The heterotic string and the geometry of the supersymmetric Einstein-Yang-Mills background

It is shown that the Wess-Zumino term of a heterotic superstring in aN = 1,D = 10 supergravity background can be given in terms of the torsion of the background in both versions (IA and IB) of theN = 1,D = 10 supergravity theory. The gauge degrees of freedom of the background are included according to the ideas of Kaluza and Klein. Explicit expressions for the vielbein, connection, torsion, and curvature of a space with 506 bosonic and 16 fermionic coordinates are given.     

Stability of Einstein-Yang-Mills monopoles and dyons

The stabilities of Yang-Mills magnetic and Coulomb charges have been studied separately before, without laying much emphasis on the singular nature of the effective potential in the resulting radial equation. We investigate an analysis that is valid simultaneously for both Yang-Mills magnetic monopoles and dyons in flat as well as curved spacetime. We find the instability modes with their qualitative behaviour determined completely by the large distance behaviour of the radial equation. One of the results for the dyon is that we could get unstable modes even if there were no such modes for the constituent Yang-Mills “electric” and “magnetic” charges separately.     

Compactification of Einstein-Yang-Mills theories on CPn

We study compactification of Einstein-Yang-Mills theories in 2n + 4 dimensions on the manifold CP_n, with a classical gauge field that is equal to the spin connection. The complete boson fluctuation spectrum is calculated and no tachyons, ghosts or massless scalars are found for the minimal Yang-Mills group SU(n) × U(1). For larger groups, tachyons or massless scalars may appear.     

Symmetries of Einstein-Yang-Mills fields and dimensional reduction

LetE be a manifold on which a compact Lie groupS acts simply (all orbits of the same type);E can be written locally asM×S/I,M being the manifold of orbits (space-time) andI a typical isotropy group for theS action. We study the geometrical structure given by anS-invariant metric and anS-invariant Yang Mills field onE with gauge groupR. We show that there is a one to one correspondence between such structures and quadruplets of fields defined solely onM; _v is a metric onM,h are scalar fields characterizing the geometry of the orbits (internal spaces), ⁱ are other scalar fields (Higgs fields) characterizing theS invariance of the Lie(R)-valued Yang Mills field and is a Yang Mills field for the gauge groupN(I)|I×Z((I)),N(I) being the normalizer ofI inS, is a homomorphism ofI intoR associated to theS action, andZ((I)) is the centralizer of(I) inR. We express the Einstein-Yang-Mills Lagrangian ofE in terms of the component fields onM. Examples and model building recipes are given.     

Wavefunction of Wormhole in the Einstein-Yang-Mills Theory

In this paper, the wavefunction of wormhole in the Einstein-Yang-Mills theory is presented by using the method proposed by Hawking. Analysing the wavefunction obtained, we find that the probability density of quantum wormhole at a = 0 is zero and there is the most probable radius for the ground-state wavefunction of wormhole. It indicates that the quantum wormhole is stable.     

Topological Geon Black Holes in Einstein-Yang-Mills Theory

We construct topological geon quotients of two families of Einstein-Yang-Mills black holes. For Künzle??s static, spherically symmetric SU(n) black holes with n?>?2, a geon quotient exists but generically requires promoting charge conjugation into a gauge symmetry. For Kleihaus and Kunz??s static, axially symmetric SU(2) black holes a geon quotient exists without gauging charge conjugation, and the parity of the gauge field winding number determines whether the geon gauge bundle is trivial. The geon??s gauge bundle structure is expected to have an imprint in the Hawking-Unruh effect for quantum fields that couple to the background gauge field.     

Nonrenormalizability of Einstein-Yang-Mills interactions at the one-loop level

The interactions between the quantized Einstein and quantized Yang-Mills fields are one-loop nonrenormalizable.     

Stability of higher-dimensional Einstein-Yang-Mills theories on symmetric spaces

We study (4 + d)-dimensional Einstein-Yang-Mills theories with arbitrary gauge groups, G_YM. The theory is compactified on a d-dimensional symmetric coset space $\text{G}\text{H}$ with a symmetric, topologically non-trivial classical gauge field, embedded in an H-subgroup of the Yang-Mills group. These theories are known to be classically stabilized by gravity if G_YM = H, $\text{G}\text{H}$ is a sphere and d ≠ 3. We study classical instabilities caused by embedding H in a larger gauge group. The small fluctuation spectrum is completely calculable, and leads to a stability condition. For two-dimensional spheres this condition is precisely the Brandt-Neri stability condition for non-abelian monopole fields. For four-spheres we find stability for SU(2) instantons embedded in arbitrary gauge groups and we reproduce the fluctuation spectrum around instantons. For higher-dimensional spheres the stable solutions of this type are completely classified, and occur only for d = 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12 and 16. The results show a remarkable agreement with expected topological stability. We also give a few examples with other symmetric spaces, such as CP_n, where the stability criterion appears less restrictive.
