Cosmological solutions for the coupled Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs equations

The coupled system of Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs equations is solved numerically for a Robertson-Walker symmetric universe. The open universe must be excluded because, for this situation, the coupled system is unable to produce energy-momentum densityT in agreement with the Robertson-Walker symmetry. For the closed universe, inflation solutions do occur if an early re-collapse is avoided by suitable choice of the initial conditions. The energy exchange between the minimally coupled Higgs and Yang-Mills subsystems is very small so that the inflating power of the Higgs field cannot be disturbed by the presence of the Yang-Mills field. After the inflation phase the influence of the Yang-Mills field is completely negligible (cosmic no-hair theorem).
