Magnetically Charged Black Holes with Hair

Abstract

In these lectures the properties of magnetically charged black holes are described. In addition to the standard Reissner-Nördstrom solution, there are new types of static black holes that arise in theories containing electrically charged massive vector mesons. These latter solutions have nontrivial matter fields outside the horizon; i.e., they are black holes with hair. While the solutions carrying unit magnetic charge are spherically symmetric, those with more than two units of magnetic charge are not even axially symmetric. These thus provide the first example of time-independent black hole solutions that have no rotational symmetry.
